Pierre, I've submitted quite a few IPs to osdb.org. Most aren't checked because they are already queued to be checked, a few check OK (not a relay), and a few say:
<quote> We have tried to test your submitted host 64.39.15.20, but has been unable to do so, as it's unreachable. We will retry later. If it remains unreachable for a longer period and is currently listed as an open relay in our database, it will be removed. </quote> Is this the loophole it seems to be? In other words, it seems to me a spammer could build an open relay, use it to send spam, shut it down. Even if people submit the IP to someone like ordb, it is quickly removed from the list of open relays, thus ready to be used again. (Of course, there is a lot here I don't understand, so I could be way off base.) regards, Randy Kramer Pierre Fortin wrote: > This will prevent your mailhost (open relay) from delivering any more mail to me or >anyone else who verifies via relays.ordb.org... <snipped almost everything -- I think the subject is clear from the preceding paragraph>
