Hi,
the envelope sender of bugzilla new account welcome emails is
bugzilla-daemon at bugzilla.ubuntu.com.
Now, quite a few mailhosts do sender verification, which works as
following:
1. The mail exchanger for the sender domain is determined via DNS
(lacking a MX record in this case, the A record of
bugzilla.unbuntu.com is used).
2. A SMTP connection to that target is attempted
3. When the answer to 'rcpt to: bugzilla at bugzilla.ubuntu.com' (in
this case) is 200 (ok), the original mail is delivered
Unfortunately, this also means all users of such verifying mail hosts
are unable to get mails from Ubuntu's Bugzilla. Changing the envelope
sender to something deliverable would help.
Goodbyte, Gerd.
