It would be helpful if Meta used a better PTR naming convention for these servers.. ;) host 66.220.155.136 136.155.220.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 66-220-155-136.mail-mail.facebook.com. Not sure who dreamed up that one.. On 2/1/24 02:18, Philip Paeps via mailop wrote: On 2024-02-01

Re: [mailop] Spamcop from a forwarding standpoint

2024-01-25 Thread Michael via mailop
Interesting note in passing, some customers who also had spamcop in their RBL listing has noted that even some Microsoft outgoing IPs are appearing on that RBL.. (cannot confirm) Not that they don't deserve it, but rejecting based on that RBL might cause some grief, better to use it as a

For the record,it's all of the Azure, Google, AWS Cloud, Tencent and many other cloud providers that are now abused for BEC Email Compromise, and dictionary attacks. Since very few 'servers' are used for email authentication/clients it is quite effective to block email auth from those

Always terrible when big ESP's simply say 'Remove Us' and think it will happen because they are big, instead of 'asking' why you are being flagged, and what can you do to improve your reputation.. Especially as a 'Financial Services' related business, the onus is on you to ensure that you are

Remember, those limits were set in a 286/1200 baud world, but a sane limit should still be observed, 30-50 hops is plenty On Wed, 9 Mar 2022 17:05:38 -0800 Brandon Long via mailop wrote: > Ours was set to 50 years ago, and we renamed our internal hops to > X-Received to avoid issues with

Umm.. not helpful, and if you are going to make inflammatory remarks, please sign it with your name.. Really isn't fair to call out Qmail, Dan Bernstein did an incredible amount of good in his day, and what version of Qmail are you using? Tell me if you see this happening in your logs, and if

Re: [mailop] IMAP and SMTP in the same or separated IPs?

2021-10-15 Thread Michael via mailop
Its a little different running a hobby mail server. vs being responsible for say an ISP with 100,000's of end users. And while technically, there isnt' many old computers that dont' support Let's Encrypt any more, nothing is free.. eg I heard it's estimated that Gmail makes between $2 and $3

Opening up another pet peeve I see.. Yes, (and absolutely no reflection on the MS lurkers on this list) this is a pain point, of our team as well. A lot of attention was given to Microsoft's role in take down's of miscreants that are attacking them, but when the attacker is on Azure, the

What's the consensus on sendgrid.net? I don't know anything about them, but I had the impression that they were a reputable company. Lately, I've noticed a lot of phishing emails coming from them. Does anyone just block them completely? ___ mailop

My server's IP is on the hotmail blacklist. I can't find any details as to why. I only have four users and we don't send any bulk mail. Mostly just a small law firm communicating with clients. I'm set up with SNDS but I don't see any details there that let me track down the source of the

Frankly, AWS abuse has to step up their game. Long take down cycles, not sharing information, no SWIP/rwhois for customers, all of these things have contributed to more and more reputation problems. Not that Azure or others are completely better, but this will have to be something AWS

As much as I would like this thread to die, had to point out.. yes, probably gmail does a great job of inbound spam protection, had an ESP recently tell me 40% of all addresses they engaged with were gmail addresses, so it behooves them to do well, wish as much attention was paid to outbound,
