Thanks Craig. From all indications our server is tightened down pretty good
right now. We moved from Imail to SM at the start of April, and I
implemented grey listing at the start of May. So we did have a fair amount
of backscatter in between until I really understood what greylisting could
do.
Thanks Darin!

Hi Todd,
I think grey listing prevents backscatter coming INTO your mail server, it
does not prevent you getting on blacklists.
If you are on a blacklist then I think you need to figure out how your smtp
server is configured because it would indicate an issue somewhere.
Since using Alligate (
Thanks Darin - good suggestions. I checked with SenderBase and we are
"good".
With SenderScore, on the other hand, I can't tell whether we are good or
bad. Our sender score is a 96, but our risk is high.
When you say you are going to monitor them, do you mean just manually
checking them
Thanks Mike. Like I said, I implemented greylisting after the date in
question, so hopefully we'll be clear when our time is up!

Todd, you might want to check SenderBase. We had a similar issue a month ago.
SenderBase had recorded a number of backscatter messages from a private list we
host that often gets attacked by spammers. The unauthorized access notices
that were sent back were seen as backscatter by SenderBase a
I think Greylisting reduces backscatter. Greylisting stops the majority of the
SPAM from ever reaching our mail server, so it never has a chance to get
bounced back because of a non existent user, etc.
