Just set up a sensible SPF value for keithlynch.net and 97% of your problems will go away. Use a responsible email forwarder, such as SMTP2go or (maybe) sendgrid, and do the SPF thing, and most of the last 3% go away as well. I've been using the free SMTP2go service for my domain(s) for a while, and it all seems to just work. Stuff sent from this email address now gets handled by Mailroute. :-) Ah, sometimes postfix makes fiddling with email handling a pleasure! (It's amazing what you learn when you RTFM!!!) ;-) Cheers, Gary B-)
