email forwarding and Gmail
Hi Folks, I've had some bounces lately and Pair Tech Support has figured it out: ---------(quote)----------- The Yahoo IPs are getting in the headers and bounce messages due to forwards. The headers you provided show this line: X-Yahoo-Forwarded: From somebody@verizon.net To someboy@gmail.com Verizon sub-contracts Yahoo to host their @verizon.net. It seems that you havesomebody@verizon.net on your PairList mailing list, and the user of that address has it set to forward to his Gmail address. Gmail is rejecting the forward from the Yahoo server due to your DMARC setup and the SPF record you have in place. There is no way to force Gmail to accept the forwarded mail, and no way to force Yahoo to do a better job forwarding mail. The only real solution is to replace thesomebody@verizon.net address on your PairList with that person's real e-mail address, which appears to besomebody@gmail.com. Doing this would prevent it from being forwarded through Yahoo services. I suspect you will over time get similar bounces from others who forward through Yahoo as well. In each case you would need to read through the bounce message and see which address it was sent to (which will be the address that is forwarding the mail), and which address is listed as the address it bounced from (which is where the mail was being forwarded to), then update your mailing list accordingly. ---------(end tech quote)---------- So, if you are forwarding emails then gmail has a surprise in store for you!
