Sending Emails To .Tk Domains

Andy252 · 30 Nov 2002, 12:45 AM

Yet another FastMail bug...... FastMail is the only email service provider that rejects valid email addresses like -@ndy-.tk I think someone need to sit and re-think the send email code.

Thank you

I think this is being discussed here :

I have just sent some test messages to -@myowndomain.com to see what happens...

<edit>
OK so I have looked and all the delivery failures have come in.

From my work address / ISP / GMX they all fail. However from my domain SMTP server it seems to work, and that is "to" a domain where the MX are with Fastmail. My conclusion? Fastmail can receive messages sent to -@domain.com but it (along with many other mail providers) can't send to them. Just observations - some techie's out there could probably diagnose it as something to do with postfix...
