Hi Eric-
I had no problem getting whitelisted on the CBL once i had lost mail.
The problem was that I wanted to tell them about the other IMail server I am
responsible for, and they refused to consider whiteliting it until we had
lost mail on that one also.
Really bad way to run a blacklist, IMHO.

CBL actually runs hot and cold on this. I guess it depends on who you get
over there. If you follow through their web site you will come to a place
where it says something to the fact that if you are running and IMail
server (or a few others) contact us to get permanently whitelisted. I know
others here have gotten mixed results with this butit might be worth a
try.

Hi, all-
For those who have been following the Comcast threads, I had Comcast
blocking me also. I met up with a couple of very helpful and courteous
people there. The tech support person who called me back was willing to
learn about the problem, and when I explained about IMail's - what do you
call it? - domain spoofing? - and that it was normal behavior, the fellow
whitelisted me permanently without further effort on my part.
This is the same problem that eventually lists most, if not all, all
IMail servers on the CBL - IMail says it's
mail.whatever_domain_is_trying_to_send.com, and they object to lots of
FQDNs from the same IP.
Because they treated me fair and square, and handled the problem
expeditiously, I am providing the contact method only to those who
experience the problem. I don't want to swamp a good contact with calls
and have him become unavailable.
I am thinking about is compiling a list of IMail IPs to send him. If
there is any interest in this, I'd be happy to be the conduit. Don't post
your IP's here, folks, bugt do let me know if you're interested. If
there's enough interest, I will contact him directly and see whether
Comcast is willing to get a large whitelist from me. If so, I will create
a web page where you can submit your IPs, and I will set up a
verification mechanism to assure that we don't allow spammers to post
their IPs on that page also.
Unfortunately, even if we do this for Comcast, the CBL folks are
categorically not interested in whitelisting IMail servers preemptively.
Therefore, you WILL lose traffic to those guys, as I did.
