Chuck, was it just the prc.tqmcube.com that returned these? I see on their own RBL checker web page that only the Peoples Republic of China zone returns this error. When I query their servers for a few test IPs, including 127.0.0.2, I don't get an error or a positive response, everything fails.

We are seeing this on the dhcp.tqmcube.com - that is the only one we were running. It is very inconsistent. Contrary to their message not every email is returning a hit. I turned the test off for now. Chuck Schick Warp 8, Inc. (303)-421-5140 www.warp8.com -Original Message- From:

Hi All, Has anyone figured out how to stop Yahoo from blocking email? They've blocked all email from our servers for about 3 weeks. I've submitted their forms but it hasn't done any good. Dave --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list. To unsubscribe, just send an E-mail

And as a further best practice to what Matt is advising, I'll mention that ideally you want to send all outbound mail from an IP that is different from your inbound gateways. And that your outbound bulk mail would be separate from both. Andrew. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

I did this once about a year and a half ago for a client and they responded fairly quickly, but the full process took about a month before they whitelisted it. If you are bulk mailing from your hosted mail server, you need to stop. Never send bulk E-mail from a hosted mail server, and it is

Just an FYI TQM cube is back up and running. Rumor has it that someone poisoned their DNS cache. They've since gone in and fixed it. David Barker VP Operations Declude Your Email security is our business 978.499.2933 x 7007 office 978.988.1311 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original

Oh, and one more thing... If you allow non-mail server port 25 traffic to be sent from within your network, you either want to block that entirely, or ensure that it doesn't go out from the same IP address as your mail server. I have seen many of my clients end up on lists like XBL because

Note that even though they ask if you are using DomainKey, this does nothing to get you whitelisted, it's only them promoting their sender verification scheme. I've said this for 4 years now. Sender verification is useless, and it is likely to only cause problems. The vast majority of

Interesting news, David. And thanks for the tip about Al's blog. I think fixed is an overstatement. I just tested 8 IP addresses that were previously listed in January in the DHCP or SPAMTRAP RBL, plus three longtime Chinese IP addresses in the PRC, and none of them are listed right now. I

Very interesting. I just picked up on this discussion. What makes it interesting to me is that I received a DNSstuff RBLalert last night that said one of my IPs was listed on TQM-CHINA, TQM-DYNAMIC, TQM-SOUTHKOREA, and TQM-SPAMTRAP. First time I've ever gotten an alert since joining a year
