It's been discussed quite a bit. Earthlink isn't the only one doing that, I guarantee it. It should only affect you if you are using a dynamic IP, which normally isn't appropriate for businesses. Are you using Exchange 5.5 or 2000?

Earthlink replied that because the ip block the MX record points to is persistent not static they block the address. "The reason that your mail bounced back is because it attempted to pass directly from an IP address range believed to be dynamically assigned (such as dialup or ADSL) to the EarthLink/MindSpring network, without first routing through a static SMTP server (such as that provided by your ISP). This is known as "Direct to MX mailing", and is a technique used by spammers to bypass spam control mechanisms established by ISPs." This is the first I've heard of a list of dynamically assigned IP's being used as a block list, actually this is the first I've heard there is such a list! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
