This is fixable. If you'd post the IP address in question, we could confirm your assertion and help you get it delisted.
I didn't write the post to get my problem fixed but I appreciate your intent.
The RBL is a service mark of MAPS <http://mail-abuse.org/>. I suspect you mean
"this DNSBL".
Yes.
That's not the case. Individual mailserver owners have the unchecked power toThat's absolutely correct but I wonder at what level or by what function these decisions are made. Do they really make a decision based upon INFORMED CONSENT. I note on the Verizon newsgroups that, as people become more experienced and sophisticated it seems that they opt out of Verizon's anti-spam service.
decide what traffic they accept and what traffic they will not accept, and many
of them choose to delegate this power to various DNSBLs.
Then there are other problems. Would you believe that EVERY time I make an ON-LINE post to the Yahoo Blat group, I get a message that my post was rejected due to Osirus' DNS RBL? Osirus actually creating spam :-). Take a look at the news group to confirm.
I'm not so sure. For example I use the 602Pro Lan Suite to collect all the Pop3 accounts and then distribute them. I can connect to about 10 of these blocking services (including Osirus') and there is absolutely no documentation. No interaction is required between the server operator and Osirus so there is no way to ensure that the server operator understands what he is doing.You're right, but it's not from want of telling them :-).
Anybody who makes that assumption for business reasons is mistaken, and has been mistaken since the dawn of email.
Arguable but my experience is excellent.
A 48-hour window would obviate the utility of DNSBLs that block open relays.
Understood.
While I don't and can't speak for Osirusoft or any other DNSBL, I suspect that they take great pleasure in frustrating spammers.
I admit that I would too.
I'm a quality management consultant so we'll never agree on this one.> After all the unpleasantness they've suffered at the hands of recalcitrant spammers and ignorant sysadmins, I can understand where they're coming from.
And perhaps my example was not the best choice but the concept is sound.
Much of the problem rests with the attitude that Osirus projects. They're out to save the world. It wouldn't be the first time that a well intentioned group or cause was over-zealous.
