Is anyone else having issues with the AMSAT email re-director?
For the last few months or so, everthing I send that happens to have a copy to my wb4apr@amsat.org address then gets bounced back at my firewall. Our sysadmin says it is an error at AMSAT that is not properly carrying through the true originators email identity or something liket that.
Thus when the copy gets to our system, it bounces because the originators address does not match that field which should be carrying the originators address. Or at least that is how it is explained to me.
I have no clue of course, but if others are experiencing something like this, maybe we need to look into it.
Thanks Bob, WB4APR
Bob,
I have one person who reports a similar problem, starting a month or so back. He has a Comcast address. Others are using my AMSAT address daily with no trouble, and when I send myself mail from three other accounts I keep, they all come through, though sometimes with a several hour delay. It looks as if there may be some sort of outbound problem.

Hi Bob,
Today it works but I often get reject messages from the AMSAT server. My ISP is comcast

I also have seen an uptick in issues with the amsat.org mail forwarding. Both with the mail credentials shown by the amsat.org mail dns entry and the delay on forwarding. Occasional issues being reported for yahoo groups sending email via amsat.org are not uncommon but I have also seen an uptick in reported problems by yahoo groups.

Dan,
Now that you mention it, I had my SDR-IQ time out with bounced messages a month or so ago, just about the time that my friend reported his problem started. Oddly, I have had no problem with any other Yahoo group. Hmmmmm.

amsat.org. 604600 IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:outbound.ucsd.edu ~all"
usna.edu. 86400 IN TXT "v=spf1 mx:herbert.usna.edu mx:herbert.blade212.usna.edu mx:nadn.navy.mil mx:usna.navy.mil mx:nettest.usna.edu mx:dmsexch.nettest.usna.edu mx:library.library.usna.edu ip4:131.122.0.0/16 ip4:131.121.0.0/16 ip4:192.190.229.0/24 -all"
It is being confused by the spf record in the DNS.

Please, reports about problems with AMSAT mail aliases should come to me, not to AMSAT-BB. It's off-topic for AMSAT-BB, since it's not about amateur radio satellites.

We do carry through the originator's true identity. That might be considered wrong by some administrators, but it's the right thing to do.
Thus when the copy gets to our system, it bounces because the originators address does not match that field which should be carrying the originators address. Or at least that is how it is explained to me.
When the copy arrives at your system, it bears an originator's address (the true one) that doesn't match the identity of the system doing the delivery. That's a little different than what you said.
If you have trouble receiving mail through your mail alias for this reason, and you can't change the minds of your mail administrators about it, then a quick solution is to get another email account somewhere else and use that one to receive your mail alias messages.

This thread gives me the opportunity to say a long overdue thank you to Paul for giving the satellite community such a good service with the amsat-bb.
It has been re directing my satellite mail for 5 or 6 years or more, without any problems.
Thanks Paul

Hi Paul,
The problem that Bob, Alan and I have seen is that the AMSAT server sends a reject message back to us. We were speculating that it was related to something that Comcast was doing but it is working at the moment. Comcast had a nation-wide network email system crash in April. Hopefully, they fixed it permanently.
I don't think the problem was with the AMSAT server.
