Hello everyone. It seems that I've been put on the ordb blacklist for having an open relay. From what I can tell it is because of a pretty well know mail hack: @something.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Interesting -- we don't show you listing in ORDB, but do show you listed in DSBL.
I would think the easiest way to prevent this is with the use of imail filters, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I've created a rules.ima file and placed it in my imail directory the contents of this file are:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:.*@:SPAMBOX
Is this the correct filter string? Do I need to put it in every users directory for every domain?
The best thing to do is figure out why it is happening (for example, if "sowherelse.com" a domain that IMail acts as a gateway for? Does it allow relaying of any E-mail from the IMail server?).
Since the E-mail is being relayed, a standard filter won't work (although an outbound filter might). When we first encountered this (actually, with "%" instead of ":" originally), IMail didn't support outbound filters, so we added a PERCENT test to Declude JunkMail that will block this type of E-mail.
