Re: *** VOTE *** Permlink of cookies

Hi,

I do not understand why this was an issue at all, but I have pasted the
entire email thread below. Reading them again only makes me wonder why you
took offence to my responses at all. I couldnt see exactly what was wrong
and you became frustrated with me. It is not my fault I cannot exactly
know what is wrong the first time you email. I think most would agree I
was not 'deliberately trying to be annoying'. I am sorry if my
shortsightedness offended you though.

Your BOPM is sending reports with this from address:

From: cookiesBOPM <"From:irc"@red.netdoozer.com>

which is being rejected.  So I am guessing there is something
slightly wrong in the config.

"From:irc"@red.netdoozer.com is the address you intended, including
the quotes, and the From:?

Are you deliberately trying to be annoying?

Your email address as configured includes the literal string:

"From: irc"

as the username part of the email address.  Either you want this
bizarre and confusing (yet valid) address, or else it is a mistake
and should be changed to:

dnsbl_from = "irc-FRleYdXti75qHsJ5iw9h8wC/[email protected]";

Can you clarify which is the case?  Why it takes 3 emails to work
this out when all the info was included in the first is beyond me.

uhh thats what the default config had, I didnt know there wasnt suppost to
be a From: in there.

You could have been less critical.


toodles,
