Hi mouss,

I checked google and yahoo and both failed on the mail server greeting test which means it is not necessary. I reconfigured my mail server just to pass on that test. The config is not much of a hassle so I did it anyway.

you seem to believe that an “outgoing” relay is also an “inbound” server (MX). most large organisations have different servers for these.

anyway, there is no sane filter that will connect back to the smtp “client” (which may not accept connections if it is an MSA) and check its banner.

and no sane filter would connect to the MX of the sender address to do that either. try comparing the “outgoing” relays of google, yahoo, … any ISP, and their MXes.

if you have evidence, please show it, so that we hit on the silly filter author or admins!
