That's the problem. Brightmail tars you with the same brush as all the other
users in the /24.
now a days most companies only need 8 or fewer addresses to handle all
their needs anyway.
I guess that's true. I'm a service provider, so I lost track of that. I have
to say that I had companies waiting in line last spring when I told them I
needed a /22! I didn't think it would be a problem getting a /24 from
anyone.
So your only hope then is to go to your provider with the report and ask
them to police the other users. Sure.

Get a /24??? I know Qwest and AT&T you must prove that you are using 80%
of the addresses or they will take the /24 away! They don't care if you
move or not ... now a days most companies only need 8 or fewer addresses to
handle all their needs anyway.

Does this mean that according to bright mail you are guilty by
association?
Yep. Most organizations of any size get at least a /24 from their provider.
So how big is your netblock? Do you have a /24 (255 addresses / 252 usable)
?
If so, it seems you have problem in your system.
If not, as it says, take this up with your provider. It seems they are not
doing a good job of policing their users..
If you can't get your own /24 from your provider, threaten to move. You
might have to renumber your network, but your provider will probably not
want to lose you.

Our emails have recently been blocked by optonline.net. All of our
attempts
to contact optonline.net have been unsuccessful. One of our customers
that
uses optonline.net contacted their technical staff and asked why our
company
couldn't send mail to his optonline.net account. They informed our
customer
that they use Brightmail to filter spam and we should contact them.
I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but have not
received
a response.
Does any other ways to contact anyone at Brightmail, or a different way to
handle this situation?
Here is a copy of the undeliverable message:
RCPT TO generated following response:
550 5.7.1 Your mail from IP 206.222.179.98 was rejected Too many
DNSBL-listed hosts in /24 network surrounding your host Please Contact
your
ISP to rectify this : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Does this mean that according to bright mail you are guilty by
association?
Thanks-
Joel
