Watch those "open relay" bannings. I have had problems sendine messages to an Astoria friend who uses Pacifier.com. On two occasions Pacifier (using those crooks at Dorkslayers) started rejecting my messages, siting my server being an open relay. My e-mail is on a university system, and no spam originates from there! We had BIG problems getting Pacifier to get its act together. Each period of rejection lasted for weeks, and I had to get someone in Halifax to forward my messages!
I concur. We were blackholed once buy one of these folks because some open relays were found in the arizona.edu domain, so huge swaths of the domain were blackholed.
Entirely unacceptable. Fortunately it was lifted within hours and most sites were accepting mail again within 24, but it was a huge disruption.
TThe other problem with these Blackhole sites are that they are often as opaque and unaccountable as the spammers themselves. There have been many cases of ISP mistakenly blackholed, or remain blackholed after the open relay has been fixed.
