What a shame Disney Hotel Swan uses Microsoft hosted servers with wrong configuration

Daniel Nashed  6 October 2010 08:38:34

My hotel reservation for Lotusphere got stuck in my potential Spam folder...

There are two issues with the mail according to SpamGeek ...

- The MessageID does not contain a valid domain -- OK that is the fault of the application sending the confirmation mail.
- The server sending the mail used the wrong Domain in the HELO command (does not match the IN-ARPA)

I got some offline comments about this post.

Yes I agree both are not really breaking any RFCs but there are best practices for well configured systems.

You don't have to specify a vailid Domain in the message-id but it would be a good configuration.
