Important Administrivia: Mail Delivery Problems Greetings. At the current time, I am having sporadic and increasing problems with various interconnected "spam blacklisting" services placing various of my main egress static IP addresses on their lists, causing systems that use those lists as a spam signal to block mail from those addresses (including PRIVACY Forum, PFIR, and NNSquad -- among other routine messages). For the record, I can find no evidence that my systems in question or locally connected networks are actually generating or relaying spam, and the automated technical claims of the blacklist services can at best be called nonsensical in this context.
Obviously if you're already blocking messages via the associated blacklists, you won't see *this* message either. But assuming you *do* see it, I strongly recommend keeping an eye on your logs and/or spam folders, whitelisting my [email protected] and my mailing list addresses, and/or creating bypass delivery filters (e.g., in Gmail). As you may know, some of the spam blacklisting services operate as little power-mad fiefdoms, unresponsive to complaints regarding their own errors, obscuring their identities and seemingly oblivious to the damage they do to legitimate communications. I will of course continue to research this issue toward resolution with all the resources available and that can be mustered. Please feel free to contact me directly for more information. Thanks as always! Take care, all. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy I am a consultant to Google -- I speak only for myself, not for them.
