Hi to all,

Can anyone tell me if I need to disregard this email? I'm using qmail by the way.

Here is the error:

Connected to 68.142.23.182 but greeting failed
Remote host said: 421 message from (x.x.x.x) temporarily deferred -4.16.50. Please refer to (yahoo site/defer.html)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

From what I understand, this means that this email is being delayed or not delivered and will retry. My queuelifetime is 28800 meaning 8 hours (am i correct). So, can anyone tell me if this is normal in qmail and just wait to retry?

I'm so sorry I'm newbie in network admninistration. Just need a confirmation and any suggestion to expert people around here

Thx :P

It is normal to wait because it's not your mail server fault but Yahoo's. For one reason or another Yahoo mail servers decided to block your mail server IP. The block will be auto lifted by Yahoo (nobody knows exactly how much does ti take).

Regards
Andy

Thx for the reply. So it means that it will automatically removed our IP in Yahoo. Glad to hear that
