Hello,
Trying to figure out what the criteria is for getting a domain listed
in sa-blacklist.current, and more importantly how to be de-listed.
List: AFAIK, you only need to be the From: address on spam sent to one
of Will Stern's spamtrap.
Delist: Contact Will Sterns.
For some reason one of my domains has all of a sudden been listed in
the above listed db. Which is rather ironic since there are only 3
active accounts at this domain. 1 used for a couple of mailing lists,
1 - postmaster (inbound email only) and 1 domain contact address for
domains (also inbound only).
This really shouldn't matter.. *NOBODY* should be using this list. It's
too large and too hardware intensive, and too inaccurate to be useful.
As far as I know, sa-blacklist is only useful as a research project.
My server had a hardware failure and was down for 10 days, when it
came back up using the same IPs and mail server software the domain in
question is bow banned all over the internet!
I downloaded the latest release of SA tonight and do not see such a
named db, but the people that have responded to me have indicated that
this is somehow part of SA and that I need to come here to find out
why I have been listed in order to be removed.
I would like to see the evidence of any claimed spam or other
inappropriate emails that would cause this domain to be listed as a
banned server.
The only thing I can think of is that this domain was subscribed to an
apache hosted mailing list and of course during that time those
messages would have bounced. But that would seem to be a pretty lame
reason to add a domain to a global ban list.
AFAIK, sa-blacklist is highly automated.

Wow, someone is actually running that file... what a nice self-inflicted
DOS.
