06/04/2003 12:09:23 Q27c20609028ae1d0 Msg failed OSSRC (This E-mail came
 from 207.44.129.132, a potential spam source listed in OSSRC.).
Action=SUBJECT.

Yet when I run the IP address in www.dnsstuff.com 's Spam Database Lookup,
OSSRC says "Not Listed" and the only testname that shows a problem is XBL.

Why would OSSRC fail the email when it gets scanned, but show it as not
being listed from the website?

The only way this should happen is if 207.44.129.132 was recently listed in OSSRC.


OSSRC only has a "YES/NO" response on their website for whether or not IPs are listed in their spam database, so you can't tell if it was listed recently. SPAMCOP, though, will let you know if it was recently listed, making it easier to track issues like this.
