Thank you. Can you point me to a service that actually tries to connect with the destination server? If that destination server rejects it, so be it. But at least I know what's going on. Services...

e-mail validity checkers?

So I get hard bounces from a couple of e-mail addresses. I run these addresses through several commercial free e-mail testers, and I get back that they are valid. In fact, I KNOW they are not valid....

Any proper e-mail service filter is just going to label mail as (presumed) Junk or Spam, and send it to you. I've never seen an e-mail filter that just tosses mail. What if it ISN'T junk? In the end,...

Thanks. I am informed by MailerLite support that a very clever thing to do in doing resends is to make a minor change in the subject line. That defeats the spam rejections. Smart!

bounce on repeat?

I had a daffy situation where my scheduled e-mail campaign from MailerLite hadn't gone out successfully an hour after it was scheduled to go out. I quickly did a "resend". In the end, the former...

I don't think recipients are doing forwarding. I suspect that the services they're hiring to manage their e-mail, e.g. Outlook,Trend, are doing it. For what reason, I can't imagine.

Well, I asked MailerLite, and all they could tell me, for a given e-maiI sent, was only the RANGE of IPs, as in xxx.xxx.xx.x/24 that was used. That's 256 IPs! I can't check all of them!

But yes, it...

how to uncover e-mail IPs for non-deliveries

I was on Sender as a listserver, and gave that up because they assigned me a blacklisted IP, and wouldn't fix it. E-mail deliveries to many of my subscribers were denied. I'm now on MailerLite, which...

OK, so I'll interpret that to mean that SPF alignment is not really a big deal, especially blacklist-wise. True?

Probably right, but I am being told that something is wrong, and it would be nice to have a clue about how to fix it. It may well, however, not be the source of my real problem.

I just got a new report. My "SPF authentication" is fine, but my "SPF alignment" is still failing. Now, I really don't know how to fix that.

Ah, thank you. Now, I'm not forwarding anything, so I guess someone else is. But does that mean that if my e-mail is forwarded, it can get rejected because my SPF doesn't anticipate that forwarding?
