I know there was a discussion a few days ago about SWBells wounderfull DNS service.
Well thought I give a true sad story. About a year ago we ran MailMax and McAfee Webshield SMTP. We did an update of mailmax to latest version less then a week later our server got hijacked and used as a spamrelay server. Mailmax was configured to avoid relaying but something was obviously broke and SmartMax people just keep saying nothing wrong with mailmax even though I could show them rbl listings with our mailmax servers tag in the passed messages. After 5 days we gave up and started looking for new software and our eyes fell on Ipswitch Imail and Declude antivirus and junkmail. Said and done we bought 2 days delivery same day we ordered it we got a call from SWBell Policy department telling us to shutdown our mailserver or we would find our upstream bandwidth shutdown by 5pm that same day (which BTW is big nono according to our contract we are required 14day written notice). I managed to buy ourselves 24hrs more since we had ordered the software and fixup so that swbell relay tests wouldn't go through so I got enough time to get our new mailserver software and install it without further threats (dirty done by me but hey)... Either way.. Today I found this after gotten a complaint from a customer that couldn't receive mail from a customers of theirs. #nslookup smtp-relay.swbell.net Name: smtp-relay.swbell.net Address: 151.164.30.54 http://www.orbz.org/b.php?151.164.30.54 Now... What is wrong with this picture ???? If I do it they can violate our contract and threaten to terminate me but they can run a relay server for over 3 weeks ???? Besides I'm STILL waiting four our letter of apology from SWBell for this incident. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
