Yahoo email problem

[Tom Brown]

I know it is strange to be posting on this forum, but since it references IP
numbers, I thought maybe someone would be able to help me get it straigtened
out.

I am having trouble sending emails from Yahoo email to any address
@hanmail.net, a provider in Korea. I have a few contacts and I have had no
problems in the past. Now, when I send an email, I get an immediate
rejection. I have not found a suitable place to post the quesiton to
Yahoo.com.

Here is the error message I get.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

211.43.197.189 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 553 5.5.4 Host name(web60920.mail.yahoo.com) is not
match with your ip(209.73.178.248), maybe it's bogus.

Any clues?

TIA,

Tom

Hanmail's mail server (IP address 211.43.197.189) is rejecting the
message sent from Yahoo's mail server. Hanmail thinks that the Yahoo
mail server's IP address, which is 209.73.178.248, doesn't match the
Yahoo mail server's name, which is web60920.mail.yahoo.com. Such a
mismatch could indicate that the message header is being forged by a
spammer.

However, I think that Hanmail is wrong. I just ran this command, which
asks the server at the IP address to respond and does a reverse DNS
lookup to find the server's name:

ping -a 209.73.178.248

The reply indicated that the address belongs to
web60920.mail.yahoo.com.

I'd pursue the problem with Yahoo at this address:

http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/cgi_ymail

Perhaps you can get the information to someone to contact Hanmail,
too.

It might take a while to resolve the problem. Do you have another
E-mail account that you can use to send messages to Korea temporarily?
If not, you can create a free Hotmail account.

Steve,

Wow! That's just what I was looking for. It might not be an answer, but at
least its a place to start. Thanks!

I am able to send messages to these people using their alternative addresses
like Yahoo mail and Hotmail but it just bugs me that a major (in Korea)
player can't be accessed by another major player (Yahoo). The strange thing
is that I have been sending emails to these addresses for a couple of years
now and it just became a problem.

I also have another issue that I will probably address on another forum in
that I have two people (one was a Canadian ISP and one with a New Zealand
address) who tell me they get rejects every time from my AT&T email address.

As Rosanna Rosannadanna said, "It's always something!"

Thanks again,

Tom

Tom, I have been having the problem you describe for about two
years now. I find it nearly impossible to get an e-mail through using
hanmail.net. My friends in Korea say Hanmail is a very popular provider
there, and maybe they cannot handle the e-mail traffic ? It is very
frustrating and I have to wonder sometimes whether they are aware of
the extent of the problem ?
