Is our mailserver rejecting your e-mail? 

Gloudemans.info uses SPF (http://www.openspf.org) and various blacklists to validate mail sent to gloudemans.info mail addresses. If your mailserver is not listed as an authorized server in the SPF records for your domain (if they are present) or listed on a blacklist mail will be rejected.

  • Normal mail servers handle mail as specified in the various standards defined for mailservers. Spammers are often not compliant with those standards. This is the basis for the Greylisting of mail. Each mail is identified by a unique triplet, sending mail server, sender and recipient. This first time a triplet is seen (in 30 days), mail is rejected with a try again later message. A mailserver properly implementing the mail standards will try again later. Many spammers never do. The second time a triplet is detected, mail is let through without any hindrance. The result is a substantial reduction in the volume of spam mails accepted by the mailserver.

  • Modem dead (updated)
  • 09/06/2008
  • Last night after 12 O'clock our modem (Fritzbox 7170 WLAN) passed away. The Internet connection came down and did not recover. Multiple reboots didn't help, sometimes the modem even got stuck in a reboot loop. Anyways, delivery time of a new modem is 3 to 5 working days, so with a bit of luck we will have it by the end of this week.
