Whatever the case, it’s is highly unlikely this has anything to do with the IPs in your headers. Again, every ESP has internal IPs in their environments.
ok makes sense i’m going to try to figure out this bounce problem. im not sending anything yet these are all just test emails. thank you for your help
found the problem. 2 lines at the end of my init.lua file that i forgot that were in fact messing with the headers and i did not remember them anymore. i was trying stuff. i removed them and instantly inboxed in outlook.com gmail and yahoo.
Interesting, what kind of header messing?
not missing, it was this:
local ipAddress = msg:get_first_named_header_value(“received_from”)
conn_meta:set_meta(‘received_from’, ‘172.67.129.148’)
msg:set_meta(‘received_from’, ‘172.67.129.148’)
this did not work and i forgot to remove, i saw another user talking about hardcoding the received_from, however i tried lots of things today and forgot these 3 lines. one of them was in fact not doing anything. this was resulting in duplicated headers and other problems. i have also confirmed that the lan ip does not have a negative effect on delivery. i was suspecting that because no matter what i did even with a perfect score no emails were reaching my gmail hotmail and yahoo.
Aah.
