[IMail Forum] Postfixgate

[Mailing Lists]

How does Postfixgate determine if it should blacklist an IP address. This is the scenario I have found with one of our IP's:   - Server has been behin a firewall with no access from outside world for the past year if not more; - Is not open relay, but even if it were no-one can access it as it is on our LAN - Is used as a mailserver (one of our own domains) but no spam has ever been sent   Now, please don't tell me that it's open relay, because it's not. I can guarantee that no UCE goes out from that IP, it's associated with my personal (non commercial) site. How the heck did it end up in Postfixgate?   Don't get me wrong, I detest spam (I even run Declude JunkMail on one of our mail servers) but isn't there a limit between what's real spam and what could be a recipient complaining that he got an email that could have been sent in error (that's the only case scenario I can think might have happened). Even so, shouldn't service that charge users that use their database (such as Postfixgate) to VERIFY that it is really a source of SPAM.   What's more is that there is no email contact on postfixgate's site, and yes - I can request unblock me on their site, but I want to know how I got into there in the first place.   Peter
