Context

I'm trying to create a job one can run as cron task on some headless machine with node,
the job should sample an RSS feed and send a mail to a configured target if one of the top 10 messages in the feed fit to a given criteria.

Your Environment

• Version used: sendmail@1.4.1
• Environment name and version I tried:
  • nodejs 10.11.0
  • nodejs 8.9.4
  • nodejs 6.14.2
• Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): windows 10, cent-os 6
• Link to your project: no repo. still prototyping. Just help me make it work in shell - I'll take it from there.

@osher have you been able to get it to work with any email besides gmail?

[osher]

yes - the problem is that the host I was using for development was not listed in the mx record.

I think you should state this more clearly for users who don't know how mail and the war on spam work and how mail servers validate each other.

Thanks for the follow up.
