Weird e-mail problem

Submitted by tracey on Thu, 02/20/2003 - 11:26am.

Hi, all --

A colleague of mine in Connecticut has a strange problem.

A few months ago, I helped her office register ctfairhousing.org and get
web hosting from Readyhosting, more for the e-mail than for the web space.

However, this colleague is unable to send e-mail from her ctfairhousing.org
address to me or any other address in the fairhousing.com domain without a
bounce. E-mails to me personally yield a "user unknown" bounce message
from the ctfairhousing.com postmaster, and her attempts to post to my
listserv at listserv.fairhousing.com yield a "host unknown" bounce.

None of these bounces, as near as I can tell, are being generated by my
Exchange server; I have it set to notify me when someone tries to send mail
to a non-existent address in the fairhousing.com domain and I haven't seen
anything.

I even had her use a different SMTP server - her ISP's instead of the one
Readyhosting supplies - but the same thing happened.

She can send e-mail to a non-fairhousing.com address I have just fine, and
she can send mail to my fairhousing.com address from a
non-ctfairhousing.org address she has just fine.

Any ideas? It smells almost like an anti-spam measure gone too far, or
some other mis-configuration somewhere.

Thanks,
Tracey
