Irrelevant. If you need to break SMTP in order to fix it; then you need
to either expand it via extensions, or scrap it and write another
transport for email. Either way you will need to write another set of
specs and hope the world also finds them useful.

Whilst I fully appreciate the issues that backscatterer.org and other
RBLs have, what can ISPs like my company do? You won't delist us but
we don't control our customers mail servers.

I do my best to monitor the traffic that is pushed through my mail
servers, I can and do restrict the customers that spam the network but
by the time I do this the backscatter/spam is already forwarded and my
company's IP address is blacklisted, in this case for the next 28
days.

How do you justify this?

I am listed on this stupid site and I already checked that I was no
seneding NDRs, how do I check CALLOUTS on Exchange Server?

I work for a Mid-Western ISP serving several thousand residential, SMB and
large-enterprise customers. We have received recent customer complaints of
the inability to send e-mail to certain companies that subscribe to the
APEWS spam filtering solution.

Upon researching this problem, I discovered that the root cause of this
problem was that our entire 216.205.208.0/20 was listed on the APEWS
blacklist. This /20 is broken up into several smaller subnets and
distributed to hundreds of customers. My question is how was the entire /20
listed on this blacklist? We understand that specific customer subnets could
be listed because of actual spamming. However, this feels like our /20 was
aggressively listed in its entirety because of reported spamming from one or
a small handful of customers.

We feel that APEWS is inaccurately listing the IP addresses of several
non-spamming subscribers because of spam complaints from one of our smaller
subnets /32, /30, /29, etc. How is this a good way to stop spamming - by
penalizing the many due to the actions of the few? Please consider removing
the blacklist on this /18 network immediately. Thank you.

Oooops 216.205.208.0 is currently listed in APEWS :-(

You could start with http://www.completewhois.com/rbl_lookup.htm, but
there is no complete list for public blocking lists, much less private
lists. Your best bet is to ensure that your network is clean and that your
provider is clean. If you starft seeing abuse or security problems on your
providers network, expect to be affected sooner or later.

Hi
Can someone help us ?

Our website is a french commercial one for private sales, deco-
smart.com (193.25.197.206)

We don't spam, we just send to our clients who are registered emails
for each sale opening.
They 've subscribed for this, and most of them don't recieve our
emails.

We've just find that we have been added to a blocked list by APEWS
since 2007-05-30...

I control our hosting company celeonet (193.25.197.40) and they are
blacklisted since 2007-05-30 too...
But we are hosted since 2007-11-28, and i don't understand why our
blacklisting is earlier.

Is our blacklisting causes by our host ??

We have no virus or other problem, and I need your help to deblock my
IP.

We were hit with a trojan last week that got our IP listed on a few
blacklisting services. The issue has been dealt with and all black
list reports are now clear. We still cannot email some domains,
namely dell.com and draftfcb.com

Our emails are not leaving our exchange and when I try to telnet to
these IPs I get connect failed.

Just to be clear, I can mail most of our contact, it's only specific
domains that are rejecting us.

I've contacted Dell but trying to reach an internal tech support is
very difficult.

Anyone know what blacklisting service I need to contact to be able to
email dell.com?

Thoughts...?
