RE: Verizon Email

["Knox,Sheryl Cormicle" <knoxs at cadl dot org>]

Jan,

Many ISPs now require that inbound email be from IP addresses that have "reverse DNS" entries. That is probably what Verizon is referring to when they say "they turn around and ask the sender to verify who they are."

Your notices are sent from your Innovative server. It is called innovative.cityofcarrollton.com (66.226.211.87). I did a reverse DNS lookup at http://www.dnsstuff.com/ and it indeed is not configured with reverse lookup. This is a DNS issue that your IT department needs to resolve. Maybe they don't realize that the email originates from your Innovative server and are assuming it goes through their email servers (which do have reverse DNS set up--that's why your email to Verizon users goes through.)

Good luck!

Subject: Verizon Email


All email sent from our III server to Verizon and GTE accounts bounce.
City IT has talked to III and Verizon and back and forth and all around
for the last couple of months.  Verizon says the email problem is at the
city's end.  According to Verizon, when they receive email, they turn
around and ask the sender to verify who they are.  This is to cut down
on spam.  My city has tried numerous things but nothing has worked. 
If I send  email from my city account to a Verizon account, it goes thru
just fine.  It seems to have something to do with the mass emailing.  Is
anybody else having Verizon/GTE email issues?  Suggestions?  Thanks.
