Bounced E-Mail Update

As mentioned in this post, some people would receive a rejected e-mail after they posted to this weblog. As it turns out, one of my upstream providers was doing spam filtering, and decided to reject any e-mails from the following domains unless delivered by a machine actually in that domain.

  • aol.com
  • hotmail.com
  • lycos.com
  • msn.com
  • yahoo.com
  • yahoo.com.hk
  • yahoo.com.tw

Because the messages were being sent from Blogger.com instead of from your actual e-mail server, they were being rejected.

I've asked to have Blogger.com added to the whitelist, and it appears that this has solved the problem. If you get a bounced e-mail when you post here, please tell me.
