Finally! managed to get a signup email from my ruby app to yahoo!
Solution was to change the the email delivery method in the application configuration file to use sendmail instead of SMTP.
eg. "config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail"
Just goes to show what can be acheived by random stabs in the dark.
differencs is you now see this in the mail header:
"received: from noelsco by agusta.eukservers.com with local (Exim 4.68 )"
instead of:
"received: from [127.0.0.1] (port=57680 helo=localhost.localdomain) by agusta.eukservers.com with local (Exim 4.68 )"
mail went through instantly!
Yes!
Party Time!
