I've got a plan with Hawkhost on a VPS server for our community, subscriber only, trade and announcements email list.
Outlook has completely blocked us so I've recently gotten messages from mailman bounces that about 400 of our subscribers (all the hotmail, live, outlook, etc. users) have been disabled. I have signed up with the SNDS program and it reports that email is blocked because we are "email harvesting". (I am working with Hawkhost on a trouble ticket). I've tried to sign up with the JMRP program as well but when I click the link I get sent back to the SNDS page and cannot figure out how to get out of that loop to get actual user feedback complaint reports, if any. But that is a different issue. I am hoping you folks can shed some light on what to look for. Here is the report after sending info to https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=edfsmsbl3&ct=eformts&wa=wsignin1.0 : Dear James Dory We have completed reviewing the IP(s) you submitted. The following table contains the results of our investigation. More information needed 198.252.110.38 There are indications that the above IP(s) are engaged in namespace mining. Outlook.com is blocking all email sent from this IP. Namespace mining is a method commonly used by malicious senders to generate lists of email addresses. This approach uses automation to sift through possible email names seeking to identify valid email addresses, e.g., [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. You must correct the problem and you must stop the behavior described above. We recommend that you work with your email or network administrator to review the logs of your email servers. Check the sending log files and concentrate on logs that are sending to nonexistent @hotmail.com, @live.com, @msn.com, @outlook.com?with <http://outlook.com/?with> multiple tries and failures. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
