Mr. Bob needs to get his mail server delisted, or he's going to have trouble sending to lots of other people besides you. for a more thorough treatment of qmail logs, read John Simpson's excellent page: http://qmail.jms1.net/logfiles.shtml -steve Thanks -- especially thanks for the excellent page ref. here is what i do not understand though if his email server is   216.37.105.169 and I go to spam Haus http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL77346 i see <snip Ref: SBL77346 216.37.96.0/20 is listed on the Spamhaus Block List (SBL) </snip isn't that a diff subnet ?   216.37.105.169 -him   , noted offender  216.37.96.0/20 I am confused -- could I have snipped to deeply in my 1st email -- are we --certain-- 216.37.105.169 is blacklisted? thanks again! The subnet 216.37.96.0/20 would contain  4094 ip addresses. The first being  216.37.96.1 and the last being 216.37.111.254. So yes, 216.37.105.169 would be in range and blacklisted.
