When sending email out of eudora on hughes internet service, all emails to both yahoo.com and gmail.com get bounced.
these are legit emails to family.
single, original emails, not forwards, not spam.
there is no outgoing signature, no attachments(service is SLIGHTLY faster than dialup)
this happens irregardless of address book or direct typing.
a bit of goggling and I see that hughesnet.com has an atrocious rating and is most likely blacklisted on those servers.
It is also possible and likely that hughes/eudora might be using TLSv old version instead of new.

Possible scenarios:
this site;
http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/hughesnet.com.html
clearly shows huighesnet is blacklisted on 3 servers, failed on 1, listed on 1 other.
This assumes if theres 1 fault, there must be others.
and since neither gmail or yahoo are even available to be checked-they are probably blacklisting too.
Testing other domainas yeilded zero fails.
this site
says "No DMARC Protection" and all I know about that is goggle... but apparently hughes doesnt have the right settings.

when I check the ip;

Does IP Address comply with reverse hostname naming convention... Failed!
RATS-Dyna - On the list. Worst Offender Alert.
This is a Worst Offender Alert and this means that not only this IP address, but the whole class 'C' is also on the indicated SpamRats List. Usually this means the whole range has the same issue of naming conventions or no reverse DNS AND that many IP's from this Class C have been used in Spam Attacks, Dictionary attacks or other forms of attacks, as detected by Mail Servers in the Data Collection Grid. You will NOT be able to use the removal form to remove your IP Addresses. If you have recently been assigned the IP Addresses, or have changed what these IP Addresses are used for, you can use the contact form and ask for a reclassification, but you will have to provide full disclosure, including whois for the ip addresses, your affiliation with the company that owns them, and a description of what the IP's were previously used for, and what they will be used for, in order for a Spam Auditor to consider reclassification. Remember, the majority of the IP's in this space WERE detected as being involved in some form of attack or abusive behaviour, so you had better have a good reason to ask for removal, and you need to own or control the IP addresses, as evidenced by ARIN whois.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Too much information posted here, so I'll just deal with the pertinent issue:
1. HughesNet has many users on a contracted email server, so DKIM isn't going to be feasible.
2. They have a DMARC policy and a published SPF record in the DNS record, it's just set up to soft fail for anything not in their passable IP spec.
The problem is the soft fail. They know about it. They also know about the TLS issue. As I said, they use a subcontracted email server, so they're at their mercy.
If this is a problem, I recommend getting your own gmail (or other free email account) and use that instead.
heres the redacted full fail email bounce;
and of course-the emails attempted are full legit emails.
also-when sending to teh yahoo, it said -failed to login and wouldnt send.
successfull sends to other domains before, during, and after other fails.
apparently hughesnet doesnt do this;
Sign messages with DKIM. Gmail doesn't authenticate messages signed with keys that use fewer than 1024 bits.
Publish a SPF Record.
Publish a DMARC policy.
