The mail server, in this case qmail, to whom you sent the email, has rejected your IP address 212.248.130.36 because the database he is using in conjuction with qmail, to filter out known relayers, has that IP address in its database. If you go to http://www.dsbl.org and look at the section, something like "Why am I listed" or some such, you will see. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=dsbl.org > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Connected to 213.38.238.98 but sender was rejected. > Remote host said: 553 5.3.0 Rejected - see http://www.dsbl.org > > --- Below this line is a copy of the message. > > Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Received: (qmail 14394 invoked from network); 7 Nov 2002 12:49:16 -0000 > Received: from unknown (HELO 212.248.130.36) (212.248.130.36) > by 0 with SMTP; 7 Nov 2002 12:49:16 -0000 > Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2002 11:04:38 +0000 > From: Barry Higginbottom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > X-Mailer: The Bat!
