Verizon vtext.com is blocking messages
Hello,
My smarthost for outbound email is having an issue with Verizon. Their infrastructure IP's have been caught in large blocks issues by Version. I can no longer use my cell phone [mycell number]@vtext.com to email to text for notices.
[QUOTE]We acknowledge the current situation with outbound mail being bounced to the domain vtext.com use acceptance policy block we cannot investigate further. Verizon has put a static block on large swaths of IP address space including ours which leaves us with no avenue to mitigate within our infrastructure. Furthermore, we have found on some community forums that Verizon may have, or are in the process of, changing their email to text policy and is NOT accepting non-enterprise connections.
We recommend customers implement the following workaround to allow the vtext.com recipients to be handled as local distribution not smarthost.
Any I idea on how to do this in cpanel exim advanced editor?
I know I could get another smarthost like mailgun or something since you can setup more that one smarthost "

Hello, When I try to use the localhost for delivery I get this error: SMTP Error (451): Failed to add recipient "6306655613@vtext.com" (Temporary local problem - please try later). If I set to different smarthost, then it will send. -- Within the confines of WHM's editor, I think you can use a static route. Code: static_route: driver = manualroute transport = remote_smtp route_data = ${lookup{$domain}partial-lsearch{/etc/staticroutes}}
Then in /etc/staticroutes you specify your route. vtext.com: SMARTHOST_IP You put this after the POSTMAILCOUNT section. See: 20. The manualroute router Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. www.exim.org0 -
Hello, After more testing, the only way I could get the above to work is to use a second host that is the local server. Thanks. 0
