RE: [SLE] Does anyone know anything about abuse.nl.easynet.net????

I couldn't find out how it got on there other than since it was part of the Verizon DSL network, they assumed that anyone sending email directly must be a spammer. Shoot first and ask questions later. The guys that emailed me had a rather nasty tone to their email. I'll I'm doing is finding out how to correct the problem and they're coping a 'tude. Beats me. Thanks for your feedback. tom On Thu, 2003-09-04 at 23:16, M. Edwin wrote:

Hai Tom.

Maybe someone test your company IP address on abuse.nl and the result is your smtp is open for relaying. Then any other mail server who used RBL and point to abuse.nl database automatically reject all the email come from your smtp. I think you can remove your IP from the list because other database provide this thing (for example http://abuse.net). Be carefull to test your IP for open relay, because some place directly put your IP into their abuse database if the test result is open relay. You can use site like http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/ to test open relay without putting the result into abuse database.

Here's the story, the other day I tried sending an email from my office to my linuxmail.org account. A little later I received an email saying:

This is the Postfix program at host neuro-logic.com.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the message returned below.

The Postfix program

: host linuxmail-org.mr.outblaze.com[205.158.62.134] said: 554 EMail from mailserver at 4.3.812.158 is refused. See http://spamblock.outblaze.com/4.3.812.158 (in reply to RCPT TO command)

So I contacted the company which ended up being abuse.nl.easynet.net and told them that my company has this IP and we're not sending spam. I later get a reply from them saying:

Please provide us with at least one of the delisting criteria outlined at http://dynablock.easynet.nl/errors.html. Neither www.neuro-logic.com nor any of neuro-logic.com's mail records point to this IP address, and 4.3.812.158 points to 'lsanca1-812-158.lsanca1.dsl-verizon.net', which is a generic DSL IP address, not different from Verizon's dynamic IP pools.

Now, my ISP, Verizon, allows me to use a mailserver. It's not a real mail server, but what I do is use fetchmail to get mail from my webhost then download it to my mail server at the office. Outgoing mail is also sent through my mail server. So I guess they can't see my IP.

Does this make sense to anyone? How do I get these yahoos to drop me from a spam list??

Thanks for the input.

Tom
