Folks,
Maybe it's my mood today, I dunno. But, I am REALLY tired of dealing
with all these stupid ridiculous rejections I receive everyday...at least
100. And that's if I set the subscriber to NOMAIL or remove them from
the list. Otherwise, they keep flowing in.
The reasons:
550 5.7.1 This system has been configured to reject your mail (I)
554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [130.160.4.249] blocked using
dynablock.xxx.com; Your message could not be delivered due to
complaints we received regarding the IP address you're using
or your ISP
552 : your message counts in one session of 21 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 22 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 23 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 24 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 25 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 26 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 27 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 28 exceeds maximum setting 20
552 : your message counts in one session of 29 exceeds maximum setting 20
Unable to deliver message to the following recipients, because the message
was forwarded more than the maximum allowed times.
This could indicate a mail loop.
552 : your "received:" header counts of 11 exceeds maximum setting 10
550 REPLY: 550_This_User_has_too_many_concurrents_please_try_again_later
552 Error: content rejected
550 Spam score too high (2.8)
554-'Message rejected for policy reasons.'
554 The message was rejected because it contains prohibited virus or spam
content
554 Content filter will not allow this message (Mode: normal)
550 Denied by policy.
Your message was rejected because it contained an offensive term.
550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
The message or an attachment did not reach the intended recipient(s),
because of unallowable content in your email.
550 sender in prison
And this is just from this morning.
If your mail admins have your max hop count set to 10, then clearly they
aren't expecting you to receive email from outside your company. Just
Listserv processing the mail here will have 5 hops. The accepted default
for mailers is like 20 or 25.
The content filters? At some point I am going to send a post with "normal"
words and see who rejects it.
This is ridiculous. I am going to start informing some subscribers that
they need to get another email address. I'm sorry, I just don't have the
time or desire to deal with all this crap. I have work to do too.
BTW, what kind of admin has an error message "sender in prison."

P.S. - If you find yourself removed from the list, it's not because I hate
you or you did something wrong. It is because I either received
repeated rejection messages or a message that indicates to me that
your email address no longer exists.
