We also got stuck on ORBZ for a while. It was due to something strange between our virus firewall and IMail, and we never could get either one to own up to the problem, so I ended up having to block every To: address with a % in it at the firewall to keep IMail from improperly handling it. Not sure if this helps you at all, but something to look at.

But, 99% of the time, people who get blacklisted ARE running an open relay (or were sending out spam). They usually have a URL in the warning that shows you why you were listed. Are you using "Relay for Addresses" or "No Mail Relay"? > I thought that they were running a great service till I became a victim > of the witch hunt. People running open relays often feel this way. But, getting paying customers is hard when you offer free services to spammers. >Any one out there know how to deal with these people and get the server >removed from the list. Yes -- close your open relay. We got listed in there (we run an open relay intentionally; our Declude Hijack sucks up all the spam that spammers try to relay), and once they saw us as a closed relay, we got unlisted. Quite easy. Rather than complain about ORBZ, how about mentioning *why* you were listed -- that's the key to getting out. What is the IP address of the server that was listed? -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
