Your targetted MTAs are going to look your IP up in the usual RBL blacklists, so you'd want to do the same, then you'll see what they'll see. Composite views of RBL blacklists are ever changing, but at the moment this seems to be a pretty comprehensive one: http://www.dnsstuff.com/ There are also useful FAQs at http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/index.lasso Start reading particularly at http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=ISP%20Spam%20Issues#128 You really should be looking for a general mail admin and policy forum, rather than this exim-specific one, for such background lectures, though. This group works best when it focusses on how to do things *with* exim. IMHO, anyway. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
