Yes, coorect.

In the last years we see much less trouble by using non-German ISPs for
our Tor nodes. gpfTOR4 is hosted by coolhousing.net, gpfTOR5 and gpfTOR6
are hosted by leaseweb.nl.

Could you please say a little more about what the trouble in Germany was 
and why Dutch and Czech exit nodes involve less trouble?  Thanks.

I am wondering to what degree people on this list have problems with

Many Tor nodes are listet in some anti-spam DNSBL. We have had a
discussion here about SORBS DNSBL some times ago. All tor nodes are
listet in the The Abusive Hosts Blocking List www.ahbl.org

The IP address of the tor exit node appears in the mail header. It is
the senders IP addres.

If the recipients mail provider uses a DNSBL which contains many tor
nodes the mail will be flagged as spam.

You can use a clean exit node for sending mail with SMTP. Check your
prefered exit nodes at http://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-database-check.php
If it is not listet, you can add a map address to your torrc:

   MapAddress smtp.provider.tld smtp.provider.tld.$6D3EE...(Fingerprint)

The GPF keeps one exit node clean from DNSBL. The tor node gpfTOR3 is
only listet at www.ahbl.org (impossible to remove it, because all nodes
are listet). You can use this if you did not find an other.



Thank you.  The DNSBL link was very useful.

I have checked the three GPF exit nodes and gpfTOR4 and gpfTOR6 are not 
listed by any lists (including AHBL) while gpfTOR2 is only listed by 
barracudacentral.org/rbl.


Incidentally, in http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ gpfTOR4 is listed as being 
in the Czech Republic while gpfTOR5 and gpfTOR6 are in Netherlands.  Is 
this correct?




ATTENTION: It will decrease your privacy! Use only very well trusted nodes.

Sorry - I did NOT found an other solution. :-(

For webmail it is the same problem. Most webmail provider add the sender
IP address to the mail header:

  Received: from 23.23.23.23
   (SquirrelMail authenticated user medium)
   by mail.provider.tld with HTTP;
  Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 07:37:04 +0300 (EAT)

If 23.23.23.23 was a tor node, some mail providers will set the spam
flag if a DNSBL was used.

May be, some mail providers does not add the sender IP address to the
mail header? Google Mail does not add it. Any other?

Set up your own on a server not running Tor and remove the lines
yourself. I have documented the process for Postfix:
http://moblog.wiredwings.com/archives/20100501/Remove-IPs-from-Outgoing-Mail-Postfix-SMTP.html

My outgoing mails are passed over my small exit
anonymizer1.torservers.net, my home IP cleansed, to my ISPs mail server
(see my mail headers). I haven't had problems with mail delivery so far.

This is slightly going off on a tangent, but I wonder if any services
like the following exist...?

I'd like to set up an SMTP server as a hidden service to accept incoming
email. It would need a gateway from the Internet though. So if somebody
on the Internet emailed:

usern...@myhiddenservice.example.com

A machine on the Internet would accept that email and forward it on over
Tor to:

username@myhiddenservice.onion

It would be trivial to set up such a gateway. Just set up a wildcard MX
record on *.example.com, and configure up an MTA. Just wondering if it
has been done though?

No problems here.  Are or-talk messages you're SENDING or RECEIVING 
getting flagged?  Assuming ones received, just add or-t...@seul.org and 
or-talk@freehaven.net to your address book, or create filters to allow 
them through.  I created subfolders in Thunderbird, for sent or-talk

I meant that if matt...@yahoo.com or matt...@hotmail.com or

the sending IP will be an exit node affect the likelihood that the e-mail

IOW: are webmail providers assuming that in some cases tor nodes are spammy?

The only time I have any  somthing end up in the spam folder from any
of those emial ip addys, is if something in the body is considered
spam. Which is set up thru the spam filters. other wise everything
gets thru. I have a lot of email coming thru from all those email ip
addys. tho aol is a lot lower.

Sent e-mails going into spam folders.

2011-02-07 Thread Matthew
 I am wondering to what degree people on this list have problems with 
e-mails going into spam folders because they are using tor nodes.


I refer to sending from a webmail (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, etc) to 
another webmail.


It seems to me that e-mails sent from Yahoo will end up as spam.

Any other experiences or opinions would be interesting.

Interesting that you mention that.  I have McAfee Anti-Spam running on
my Thunderbird client which happens to be configured to access several
web-mail accounts via localhost:8118 by FoxyProxy.  That ports the mail
through Polipo.  Starting in early January McAfee began diverting about
40% of good mail to the respective Spam folders. McAfee acknowledges
that there is a problem but so far they have not solved it.  They have
not examined my Thunderbird configuration nor have they even opened my
Windows Registry, so they aren't very bright.
