I agree with your assessment, John. The remote server which is using
the RBL blacklist appears to be cloud6.emwd.com, run by Emerging
Markets Web Design LLC., and I assume that the pdml list handling is
hosted there.

Those RBL things are a very stupid blunt instrument. Better anti-spam
systems either don't use them at all or at worst use their input to
influence the spam determination a small amount.

Have you reported this issue to Earthlink? Their admins should be
soliciting that RBL host to take their servers off the list. Earthlink
may not be aware they are on the list.



I haven't reported it yet. I wanted to be sure I had the facts straight
before doing so.

As noted, it only appears to apply to a single IP address.

I'll report it later today when I have time to spend on the phone with them.

I got a second bounce message, and I want to be sure I understand what's
going on.

The message reads:

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>:
host pdml.net [192.151.138.19]: 550-"JunkMail rejected -
elasmtp-junco.atl.sa.earthlink.net
550-[209.86.89.63]:41905 is in an RBL,

Am I correct that this is from the PDML server and it's telling me the
mail server at Earthlink with the IP address 209.86.89.63 is blacklisted?

I've looked at my full headers and it appears Earthlink has a pool of
servers & messages go through a random server when I send email. So far
both bounce messages have both been for "elasmtp-junco.atl.sa ...".

I think it's only the one IP address that's blacklisted. The others seem
to be getting through.

At least they didn't blacklist the whole domain like they did with
Time-Warner's mail servers.
