Well, this "bad thing" is dropping about 1,000 spams per day on my server. I'll continue to use rbl's, thank you. It's my choice since I'm my own ISP. The lab where I work also uses rbl's which, along with grey-listing, removes about 90,000 spams per day, which is about 90% of their total mail traffic.
It is your choice. Just one unfair email dropped is enough for me not to use them.
Check it out at http://www.au.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml.
I checked the two IPs and they are not listed.
195.135.221.131 is the IP that's listed. I don't know which two you checked.
mx1.suse.de and mx2.suse.de, the mail servers. You are checking "lists.suse.de" which is not in the address from field. lists.suse.de has been blacklisted, but the sorbs link you gave does not tell the reason why, only that someone listed him. Do you remember those people posting here now an then asking to be unsubscribed? O for us to stop spamming him? I have received direct claims like that. Perhaps one of those clueless people protested to sorbs and they have listed SuSE without further investigation.
It would seem that the list owner should contact sorbs to get de-listed.
Tell him directly.
I presumed that my message would reach him/them, in addition to alerting others of the problem.
Don't presume that. It is in the list FAQ, and I know for certain that they don't always read the list and have to be alerted of problems, like the spam tags in the subject line. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
