Carlos, are you using Tiscalis relay when you email people? SORBS is listing 213.94.7.77 as a dial-up address, and it's not completely unreasonable to refuse your email if it's sent directly from your dial-up line. A little harsh yes, but not completely unreasonable.
I can not set up a fixed relay for many reasons, one of them is that I don't always use the same provider. Tiscali does verification based on the sender IP, so if I connect from another provider, I can not send. To send I have to edit the transport file each time. So, I use postfix to send directly. That also gives me more control and confirmation of receipt, which a relay doesn't. As to the real problem at hand, I'm studying it and doing tests. Perhaps tomorrow or the day after I'll have more info. Now I'm going to sleep :-) [rant start] I consider blocking ranges of IPs just because they are dynamic unfair. True, spammers use them. But also much more bona fide people than spammers use dynamic addresses. Condemning us all because there are some rotten fruits in the same bag is as unfair as imprisoning a bunch of people because one of them committed some kind of crime, but the exact culprit can not be determined. And the exact culprit can be got, with a court order, in Spain. The providers, by law, keep a list of each connection with the phone number used to connect each time. Spammers can be known. It only needs determination on the part of the law enforcing establishment, politics, police, judges, etc, to get at them. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
