Since I finished sending you a private email about this before I saw this posting, I'll just quote my response here: ..... I have a script running on my server that automatically examines the websites on incoming mail servers and blacklists anything that looks suspicious. This is amazingly effective, since spammers will buy hundreds of domains and use the exact same website on each one. When it checked your server (holtain.net), it found the Fedora Core Test Page and blocked it.
Sorry for the false positive. I've removed the blacklist entry and changed the script so it won't blacklist your domain again. ..... As for my mail server being a poor advertisement for spamdyke, I respectfully disagree. My email address has existed since 1997 and it's listed many places where spammers can easily find it (web pages, mailing list archives, forums, etc). In other words, I'm on plenty of spam lists. But thanks to spamdyke and my filtering scripts, I typically get 2-3 spam emails per day. So once more, I'm sorry your email was blocked but false positives are unavoidable in the anti-spam business. You're no longer blocked and shouldn't have any more problems. -- Sam Clippinger On 5/11/11 9:12 AM, Niamh Holding wrote: > Hello Sam, > > Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 7:34:59 PM, you wrote: > > SC> Interesting. > > Does the server hosting this list run spamdyke? > > If it does its overenthusiastic rejection of messages is a poor advert > for spamdyke; I'm trying to send this message via gmail in the hopes > it will get through! > > ------------------------------------------------------ > <[email protected]>: > 208.110.65.146 does not like recipient. > Remote host said: 554 Refused.
