hi thomas, the message you got from the mailserver means that the ip 202.58.118.7 is blocked by some mta's because it is listed in a blackhole list as a spam site. these blackhole lists are a really great thing against spam. if you receive any spam, forward it with _full_headers to spam@orbz.org, they will check all hosts involved in the transfer of that mail and if they allow relaying, they will be added to the list. someone has done this with that ip, and the receiving host has checked against that list, found an entry there and therefore refused to handle the mail any further. greets, chris Am Montag, 3.

Why would only one message bounce?

I'm new to Linux. Just loaded SuSE 7.2 Pro.2. Dual boot. Only w****** exp as a user. I am not a IT person. I am getting all the SLE mail. Hundreds before and after this on message. I download all my mail (pop3) from my ISP. Using win98SE. I am dial up with 56K PCI PNP modem. (28K???)

I run zonealarm and set it to block all attempts on my system. Would zonealarm cause the follow up probe referred to in the ezmlm message to bounce?

Hopefully I will be able to get a modem and start using Linux. Supposedly my internal modem is supported by SuSE. Haven't gotten that far yet. Need to learn how to move around SuSE-KDE-command line first.

I never rejected any messages. Why did I get this today if it happened on August 21st? What does this mean--Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Mail from 202.58.118.7 refused by blackhole site inputs.orbz.org

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the suse-linux-e@suse.com mailing list.

I'm working for my owner, who can be reached at suse-linux-e-owner@suse.com.

Messages to you from the suse-linux-e mailing list seem to have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce message I received.

If this message bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe bounces, I will remove your address from the suse-linux-e mailing list, without further notice.

I've kept a list of which messages from the suse-linux-e mailing list have bounced from your address.

Copies of these messages may be in the archive. To get message 12345 from the archive, send an empty message to: <suse-linux-e-get.12345@suse.com>

Here are the message numbers:

69098

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lists2.suse.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<tgland@iserv.net>: Connected to 204.177.184.15 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Mail from 202.58.118.7 refused by blackhole site inputs.orbz.org
