Can't send mail - 554 Blacklisted

IMSth · March 28, 2019, 8:06pm

Hi,

I try to instal Discourse on my server as Docker container. Everything is fine until sending email on the first run.
I didn’t receive mail.

I run discourse-doctor and this is the result (I’ve changed domain to MY_DOMAIN):

This server reports NOT FOUND, but forum.MY_DOMAIN reports Discourse 2.3.0.beta6 .
This suggests that you have a DNS problem or that an intermediate proxy is to blame.

I’ve tested manually by mail-tester.com . mail-tester.com result is: 8.9/10
I have small issue with

SpamAssassin: -1.1

Anyway I can send and receive mail on this address.
How can I resolve this problem?

That message is coming from the SMTP server. It is not accepting mail from your Discourse server.

Whoever is in charge of mail.MY_DOMAIN is who you need to talk to. If it’s you, then you need to check your logs and google “554 blacklisted your-mail-server-software”

I use server mail as poste.io . It’s dockerized mail server and I host on the same server.

I’ve checked another server (also dockerized by poste.io ) and I’ve got 500 Unrecognized command .
Maybe someone configured Discourse with poste. io ?

Stephen · March 28, 2019, 10:06pm

Is there a reason you’re not using one on the recommended free providers?

pfaffman · March 28, 2019, 11:03pm

Maybe so. You should ask people who know about poste. io and see what they have to say.

I checked elasticmail. But still doesn’t work. I used settings from @Stephen post and set admin account as one on my gmail account.
All settings are ok, becuse when I run discource-doctor I’ve got SMTP server connection successful and Mail accepted by SMTP server.
I’ve checked inbox, spam folder - no mail.

Elasticmail says Today email sent: 0 .

Discource base is in 2.0.20190321-0122 version .

pfaffman · March 30, 2019, 6:47pm

It’s hard to explain how discourse-doctor would report that the mail sent successfully and that Elasticmail would not have the message in the logs. The only explanation I can imagine is that the ElasticMail credentials that you used are not for the same account that you’re checking the logs of. That seems wildly improbable.

IMSth · March 30, 2019, 9:36pm

I’ve checked twice. Everything is ok. It is very weird
I’ve tried different mail as administrator - still doesn’t work.
