One of two things is true: 1. Your email server is misconfigured. Any blacklist service worth worrying about will gladly point you to resources which explain how to correct this.

2. You are running email software for which no fix is available. Upgrade to something recent/real-world, and see item 1. David Gillett On 23 Oct 2001, at 16:26, Timothy K.
