Hi

Is Afrihost now using hornetsecurity.com to send mail?

Thanks, Ian

Hi,

Are you reffering to bulk email for promotions?

 

[iandoug]

No, I send mail from my server via account at Afrihost. But saw it connecting to hornet, which was "curious" ...

When people say "bulk email for promotions" I read "spam". It's just cron job outputs.

Thanks, Ian

No we have our own mail servers for sending mail. Either through our own mail cluster or if it's routed via the server then the server IP which we host.

Mmm let me check with Hetzner then.
Can't remember how I set the box up ... was a decade ago.

Thanks, Ian

Silly me. Hetzner not in the sending loop. Box is hosted with you, but my emails are with Hetzner.

The program creates an email, To: user1, CC:user2 and myself.
User1 and User2 are at same domain, not mine.

It *looks* like the mailer is sending the messages to user1 and 2 first, via hornet, and then to me, via my server. So I assume hornet is in their mail loop, which is odd because they are MS Outlook users. Thought mail was with MS. Mails from them come from outlook.com but I see mx-relay05-hz1.antispameurope.com in the headers which has a similar name pattern to mx-gate80-hz1 below.

This is from mail log (edited):

So "probably all okay", just not what I was expecting.

Thanks, Ian
