Hello Joe, Tuesday, October 24, 2006, 1:54:21 PM, you wrote: > This is the full IP: 205.152.59.66. But I'm confused. Are you saying > that someone has classified *me* as a spammer??? How can that be? Yep.. Try putting your IP address in at: http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr It's listed in at least three. Someone could have been faking the IP address they came from (IP spoofing), they could have been there for a while (in the RBL lists) but the mail administrators only recently started using DNSbl lists on your recipients end. etc.. Could be a lot of reasons.
I got 4 (I think), but one was purported to be out of business. Does that mean that those lists are classifying *me* (actually, my IP, I guess) as a spammer? And that the business that's all-of-a-sudden started to bounce my e-mails (though I still get messages *from* them!) is using those lists to bounce suspected spamming domains? If that's all true, how do I get myself off those lists??? I'm no spammer. I HATE SPAMMERS! I send out a few e-mails a week, containing mostly jokes, to several dozen friends (who also send me the same kind of stuff), and the names are all BCC'd. Could that be what these lists are picking up? There's no way that any of these people would report me to anyone, even if they knew whom to report me to, which I can guarantee you they do not.
Are you sure they are (whoever in fact "they" are) not picking up > "The Bat" as a reputed spam *program*? 1. The error is specifically related to IP, not to MUA (Mail User Agent).
Okay. 2. You yourself state you aren't using the X-mailer header. I don't
see the X-mailer header in the messages you sent to the list, so there's no way for the recipient to determine you're using The Bat. They might label you a spammer because you don't have an X-mailer header, but that isn't the case here.
That's probably because I'm sending this message to tbudl from Google Mail, not from The Bat. That's who I use for sending/receiving (and storing!) all my tbudl messages.
I've been able to send messages to this domain (and vice versa) as > recently as last week, and had no problems whatsoever. Like I said, the mail admins for the recipients might have just started using DNSbl. It happens all the time. We have a system here at work called CityWatch which send out mass e-mail in case of emergency. In the past few months we've started getting more and more rejections (mainly for a bad reverse lookup).
What exactly is a "bad reverse lookup"? And what were you able to do about being DE-listed? Thanks for the help! -- Joe ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
