Log message help

[mario fibbi]

Hi,
when i send a message (with my qmail server) to a mail box of my friend (to other mail server), he doesn't receive the message.
I have this in my log:
delivery 133137: success: 77.43.xxx.xxx_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_Queued_(0.250_seconds)

What does it mean?
How can i debug more in depth?

Thanks, M.

Hi Mario,

Means that your message was accepted by your friends email server. If
the message is being lost somewhere, it's on his end, meaning that your
server is doing just fine.

Is it coincidently a hotmail address ? I noticed that all mail from my
domain to hotmail and similar Microsoft services ends up in the spambox,
which annoys me. However there is not much I can do about it on the
sending side.

No, is not a hotmail address. I know that his server use greylisting. Can this cause the problem?

Lucky you, at least yours arrives.

So much of what we send to hotmail addresses gets accepted then
disappear into thin air!

No. As i stated before, your message DOES get accepted. If by any chance
the greylisting mechanism was enforcing message delay, you would get
something like

@400000004ab8b2d917663624 delivery 50986: deferral:
xxx.xxx.xxx_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_said:_450_4.7.1_<user@...>:_Recipient_address_rejected:_Greylisted,_see_http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/help/iit.it.html/Giving_up_on_xxx.xxx.xxx./

It get's accepted so it's not a greylisting problem. Maybe the best

thing would be to contact the receiver side and see what's up ? First of
all: did it arrive but was it marked spam ? If not: where did it get
lost at the receiver side ? Was the email address maybe spelt wrong and
did the default delivererer get the message (that is the postmaster
instead of user <x>) ? Does the receiving user have a filter that
trashed your content directly ? It might be that it automatically gets
selected as spam since you might be mailing from a dynamic host in which
case the spamdetector will see this and decide what to do with your
mail. All vague idea I know but you will need to talk with the receiver
of your message to see where something went wrong. Something I also
noticed is a certain forgetfullness of people. You ask them: 'did you
get my message: A: No. You ask them whether they can check with numbers,
dates, subject header etcetera and suddenly they seem to find it back !

Wkr,
