Re: [IMail Forum] Blacklisted by Imail "feature"

[Dave Doherty]

Hi Eric-   I got CBL to whitelist us in November and thought the problem was solved. Then it happened again yesterday with Comcast, and it seems like a good idea to turn this off as other admins get the idea that they can detect spammers this way.   I looked in the archives and couldn't find anything lately. If anybody knwos how to stop this, please let me know.   -d ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Shanbrom To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 9:45 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Blacklisted by Imail "feature" Check the archives. This was being discussed over the last week or so. This comes up every once in a while. Usually if you contact CBL they will permanently whitelist you so you don't get listed again. The actual test is way to restrictive which makes it just about invalid for those running IMail and some other server packages which impersonate the virtual domains in their HELO/EHLO strings.   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Doherty To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 12:16 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Blacklisted by Imail "feature" Hi, all-   Running Imail 8.15 here, but this applies to many other versions.   I have recently been blacklisted by CBL and Comcast as a result of a feature that appears to be unique to IMail. It seems that there is some way in which, for outgoing mail, Imail identifies itself as "mail." followed by whatever domain originates the email. Since I have several hundred domains, that means the server identifies itself as several hundred domains, all at one IP address. To uneducated recipients, this looks like a spam generator.   Several other users on the Declude list report similar problems.   Is there a way to shut off this function so the server always identifies itself with the official host name?   -Dave Doherty  Skywaves, Inc.
