Hi all,

im having trouble sending only certain emails to certain addresses, i think it has something to do with greylisting, or im being blocked cos the receiving email server doesnt know who i am as such. Heres a error log that i get when i try sending to a hotmail acc:

Is there any way i can get this server, and others, to accept my emails?

Thanks all, as you can probably tell im new to Postcast etc.

Try to change the server identity in the HELO handshaking settings in the Settings/Advanced screen to the "mail.[server].com" format. Replace "[server]" with your ISP's domain name.

For example, if your ISP provides email address such as , set the HELO handshaking identification to mail.isp.com. Try also with only 'isp.com' format.

To make sure that all of your messages are delivered, the best approach is to find a reliable backup SMTP server. You can then use that server as an SMTP Gateway in the professional version of PostCast Server.
