    I am able to send out internet email, but when I try sending to my BBS, I do not get the mail. Here is what I am seeing in my logs, How can I fix it, I think
    it is a spam blocking problem, but do not know how to fix it.

    The WCSAP*.LOG file will tell you the details. But it was CBV -
    Callback Verification.

    WCSAP tried to call back the xxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com and YAHOO didn't like
    it. Why? The WCSAP*.LOG session log for this will tell ya.

    It may be hard to follow but on a busy system the log lines will mixed
    with all current SMTP sessions. So you need to make sure you group
    the right lines together and thats done by the connection ID, column
    #3 in the log:

    date time connection_id string

    You will be looking for the SAPCBV attempts.

    Here is an 2005 log example I have on hand for yahoo:

    The idea of CBV is when someone is sending you mail (from yahoo.com),
    the theory that you should be able to write back to them. If you
    can't, then its probably a bad address.

    So CBV tries to act like its going to send mail, but only goes as far
    to issueing the:

    RCPT TO: <xxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com>

    if yahoo response with a 45x or 55x number, its bad. If 250, its good.

    But WCSAP goes one step further and ask the question:

    "ok, if yahoo says this address is ok, then lets try
    a fake address to see if its accepts any thing!"

    That would be the line above:

    RCPT TO: <wcsap-openrelay-test-123sxa23@alqwejad.com>

    where wcsap tries to see if YAHOO accepts any junk. If no, then its
    WCSAP says:

    "Ok, we done the best we can. Yahoo is not accepting junk
    but it did accept the first address of interest. So its
    ok."

    If Yahoo had accepted the junk address, wcSAP assumes the site is a
    open relay and thats normally bad.

    So check for the same activity in your logs. The above was 2005.
    Yahoo might have changed policies and have a different result.

    This appears to be a DNS (Domain Name Server) lookup issue.

    sapcbv : rejected - can not resolve yahoo.com

    In other words, its doing something like this:

    NSLOOKUP -query=mx yahoo.com

    which you can type from the dos command and it could not be resolved.

    If I type that command above now, I get this:

    Server: dns.mia.bellsouth.net
    Address: 205.152.144.23

    Non-authoritative answer:
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = b.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = c.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = d.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = e.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = f.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = g.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = a.mx.mail.yahoo.com

    which are the servers to send mail too. What happen is that this
    didn't work for you.

    It generally means your connection with ISP has a DNS setup issue or
    they were down or their DNS servers were down or there is a firewall,
    etc, who knows.

    But before you can use WCSAP or send mail with WCSMTP, you must be
    able to do NSLOOKUP commands from the PC wcSMTP is running. Do it for
    other domains too:

    NSLOOKUP -query=mx gmail.com
    NSLOOKUP -query=mx santronics.com
    NSLOOKUP -query=mx microsoft.com
    NSLOOKUP -query=mx live.com

    When these return valid MX records, then you know your DNS resolution
    is working with the ISP connection.

    etc.

    So CBV tries to act like its going to send mail, but only goes as far
    to issueing the:

    RCPT TO: <xxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com>

    if yahoo response with a 45x or 55x number, its bad. If 250, its good.

    But WCSAP goes one step further and ask the question:

    "ok, if yahoo says this address is ok, then lets try
    a fake address to see if its accepts any thing!"

    That would be the line above:

    RCPT TO: <wcsap-openrelay-test-123sxa23@alqwejad.com>

    where wcsap tries to see if YAHOO accepts any junk. If no, then its WCSAP says:

    "Ok, we done the best we can. Yahoo is not accepting junk
    but it did accept the first address of interest. So its
    ok."

    If Yahoo had accepted the junk address, wcSAP assumes the site is a
    open relay and thats normally bad.

    So check for the same activity in your logs. The above was 2005.
    Yahoo might have changed policies and have a different result.

    This appears to be a DNS (Domain Name Server) lookup issue.

    In other words, its doing something like this:

    NSLOOKUP -query=mx yahoo.com

    which you can type from the dos command and it could not be resolved.

    If I type that command above now, I get this:

    Server: dns.mia.bellsouth.net
    Address: 205.152.144.23

    Non-authoritative answer:
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = b.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = c.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = d.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = e.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = f.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = g.mx.mail.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = a.mx.mail.yahoo.com

    which are the servers to send mail too. What happen is that this
    didn't work for you.

    It generally means your connection with ISP has a DNS setup issue or
    they were down or their DNS servers were down or there is a firewall,
    etc, who knows.

    But before you can use WCSAP or send mail with WCSMTP, you must be
    able to do NSLOOKUP commands from the PC wcSMTP is running. Do it for other domains too:

    NSLOOKUP -query=mx gmail.com
    NSLOOKUP -query=mx santronics.com
    NSLOOKUP -query=mx microsoft.com
    NSLOOKUP -query=mx live.com

    When these return valid MX records, then you know your DNS resolution
    is working with the ISP connection.

    etc.

    20090403 22:11:16 (07D4) RCPT: Return Path not verifiable: <xxxxxxx@yahoo.com> (Rejected by WCSAP CBV)!

    The WCSAP*.LOG file will tell you the details. But it was CBV - Callback Verification.

    WCSAP tried to call back the xxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com and YAHOO didn't like it. Why? The WCSAP*.LOG session log for this will tell ya.

    It may be hard to follow but on a busy system the log lines will mixed with all current SMTP sessions. So you need to make sure you group the right lines together and thats done by the connection ID, column #3 in the log:

    date time connection_id string

    You will be looking for the SAPCBV attempts.

    Here is an 2005 log example I have on hand for yahoo:

    20050121 10:08:30 0001ea94 sapcbv : total mx records: 5
    20050121 10:08:30 0001ea94 try mx : mx1.mail.yahoo.com ip: 67.28.113.11

    20050121 10:08:30 0001ea94 sapcbv : 250

    The idea of CBV is when someone is sending you mail (from yahoo.com), the theory that you should be able to write back to them. If you can't, then its probably a bad address.

    yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = f.mx.mail.yahoo.com

    yahoo.com nameserver = ns8.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com nameserver = ns2.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com nameserver = ns5.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com nameserver = ns6.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com nameserver = ns3.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com nameserver = ns4.yahoo.com
    yahoo.com nameserver = ns1.yahoo.com
    a.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 67.195.168.31
    b.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 66.196.97.250
    c.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 216.39.53.3
    c.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 216.39.53.2
    d.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 66.196.82.7
    e.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 216.39.53.1
    f.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 209.191.88.247
    f.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 68.142.202.247
    g.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 209.191.118.103
    g.mx.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 206.190.53.191
    ns2.yahoo.com internet address = 68.142.255.16
    ns1.yahoo.com internet address = 68.180.131.16
    ns4.yahoo.com internet address = 68.142.196.63
    ns5.yahoo.com internet address = 119.160.247.124


    But CBV does not allow me to get mail from yahoo.. It refuses it.. Any suggestions?

    What you first showed above is the CBV (Call Back Verification)
    failing to the MX records at the moment April 3rd, 9:11pm. It didn't
    even get started to do the CBV.

    That is normally a DNS client issue with the DNS server servicing your
    connection.

    So its working for you now? Today?

    If you are still getting the above, then check you don't have a DNS
    server defined in WCSAP.INI that is incorrect. By default, the DNS
    server is not defined and it uses what is defined by Windows.

    If that doesn't work, you can either white list them in
    WCSAPFILTER.TXT or turn off CBV.
