I just got this email from ordb.org saying that we have been added to their blacklist for some stupid reason. We have never been an open relay and are very much anti-spam and anti-spammer. We are not an open relay and are running the newest development/beta version of SIMS. I need someone to tell me why the hell we failed their test and how to fix it.
Thanks,
Paul Didzerekis
X-Mirrored-by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: postmaster Subject: Open relay detected within your network Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2002 19:33:45 -0800This is an automatically generated mail from ORDB.org. Someone has submitted your mail server 63.95.200.2 to our relay checker a <http://ORDB.org/submit/>, and we have learned that it is in fact an open relay. For details about the test results, please refer to <http://ORDB.org/lookup/?host=63.95.200.2>. Having an open relay on your network makes it possible for malicious users (spammers), to make it look like spam is originating from your site. This could cause you or your organisation to be wrongfully associated with spamming activities. Additionally, quite a few systemadministrators around the world refuse to accept connections from open relays, and so will block your site in the near future. We have listed your server as an open relay in our database. Please note that we do not distribute this information, except to users who specifically request information about your particular ip-address. In order to fix your server, you should probably get in touch with your software vendor, and upgrade your software to the latest version. Also it may be necessarry to change a few settings in your MTAs setup, to disallow relaying from IP-addresses you do not consider local. For help with this, see <http://ORDB.org/fix/>. If you believe that your organisation really needs to run an open relay, you should probably look into ASMTP (authenticated SMTP) or pop before SMTP, which will solve your problems, while at the same time securing your server. For further information about open relays, have a look at <http://ORDB.org/faq/> When your server has been secured, feel free to remove it from ORDB by following this link: <http://ORDB.org/removal/>.
