Hi list, from time to time we do make some bulk emailings based on double-opt-in lists for customers. Last time the customer was worried about the bad reply rate to his eMailing. He said, that maybe our host is blacklisted already. We check this before we actually do this eMailing for example by going to www.dnssstuff.com and look if we are blacklisted as an open-relay (which we were a year ago or so). Here are my there questions: a) Is there a list, a recipient can go and blacklist us as a possible spamming source in case he didn't want the emailing ? (spam-cop, mail-abuse etc. ?) Yes Spamcop fex b) How do recipients eMail-server rely on those sources ? If, do they block the host or the sending address ? Both but normally on the ipadress c) How is IMail reacting here (since let us say version 6.x) ? Can you configure it to block hosts ? (I can only think of the kill-file) Not sure using Imgate and declude to fix this Thanks for any input !
