Just recently I dove into the VideoLAN open source project. This was my first time using git, and when sending in my first patch (using git send-email --to
[email protected] patches), I was sent the following message from my computer's local mail in the terminal (I'm on OSX 10.6 by the way):
Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. We generally do
not accept email from dynamic IP's as they are not typically used to
deliver unauthenticated SMTP e-mail to an Internet mail server.
http:/www.spamhaus.org maintains lists of dynamic and residential IP
addresses. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your
E-mail/Internet Service Provider for help. Email/network admins, please

They must think I'm a spammer. I have a dynamic IP and my ISP (Charter) won't let me get a static one, so I tried editing git preferences: git config --global user.email "
[email protected]" to my gmail account. However I got the exact same message again.
My guess is that it has something to do with the native mail's preferences, but I have no idea how to access them or modify them. Anybody have any ideas for solving this? Thanks!
