Re: DSBL Open Relay Removal
In the last episode (Dec 10), [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: All, I cannot seem for the life of me, to get a server removed from the DSBL (dsbl.org) open relay list. Here's the short and skinny: DSBL will sends an email to abuse or postmaster @ the ip address of the server listed. The current sendmail server rejects the attempts from DSBL to send an email to the account: Result: 12.158.17.27 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 postmaster@[12.158.17.27]... Relaying denied Giving up on 12.158.17.27. I stood up a FreeBSD server in its place to accept (or so I thought) emails to abuse or postmaster at the IP address and then send them onto my regular email address. This /works/ when I send from a webmail account or a pop account to abuse@theserveripaddress. But, when sending from DSBL, I still get the same error message. Is there something unusual about your IP setup? sendmail should accept emails to users@[any local ip] without a problem. All I can think is that your mail server is behind a NAT of some sort and doesn't realize the rest of the world expects it to be at 12.158.17.27. Try putting that IP in /etc/mail/local-host-names, but I don't know if sendmail will accept IPs in that file. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
