Doesn't look like it's osirusoft... it's dsbl.org. Looks like people are testing open relays that are Road Runner customers in my area. The way that blacklist works, if they receive an email through a relay with a specific format, they blacklist the relay it came from. In this case, the open relay servers forward through the RR mail server for this region, and makes for a nice denial of service for the rest of us in the area when sending to those that blindly follow their blacklist. Even those guys say that blind following of the list isn't the best way... I'm using SpamAssassin myself, which they recommend. I'm sending an email to them now to try and remedy this. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at arthurian dot nu // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator Be nice to other people.
