[gentoo-user] Email to Hotmail not working

I am unable to send email to hotmail. I thought I had a misconfiguration
in sendmail, but I have just tried a telnet (See below). Although I can
send emails to hotmail without an error or undeliverable report, none
show up in my hotmail account unless I reply to an email I sent from my
hotmail. Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Dave.

Here's the telnet session with my email addresses modified for the
archives ;)

Have you looked in your Hotmail junk folder?


Be lucky,

Yes. Only this email was in there!

Look, Dave, almost all people on this list and virtually anywhere in planet 
Internet have dumped sendmail years ago and moved to some modern MTA like 
exim or postfix or some such. It is highly unlikely you get a spot-on answer 
here. Maybe, there are still sendmail mailing lists around. You better try 
there.

That said, it could be that hotmail doesn't like your Envelop-To: header. 
Sendmail can, without a doubt, re-write this header, but I have forgotten how 
to do it about ten years ago. ;-)

I had no SPF record for my domain name. Hotmail obviously rejects emails
without this nowdays. http://www.openspf.org/

Cheers,
Dave.

I do have SPF record and I'm not able to sent mails to hotmail.
Some arrive, some not.

If you have an account in other server (ISP server, i.e.) you
could relay your "hotmail" mails trough that server using "transport".
