Chet, I've checked 5 major services: 25.199.172.63.relays.ordb.org -> 0.0.0.0 25.199.172.63.relays.osirusoft.com -> 0.0.0.0 25.199.172.63.orbs.dorkslayers.com -> 0.0.0.0 25.199.172.63.list.dsbl.org -> 0.0.0.0 25.199.172.63.relays.visi.com -> 0.0.0.0 All of which show negative results (good thing) and a couple of these database's are very, very strict. Apparently they've listed a lot of sprintlink - Spambag: 63.160.0.0-63.175.255.255 I'd suspect that postfix has done the same for the same reason. Being that major isp's with the BIG $$$ really don't care about spam/viruses it would be my advice to you to either 1) send them a 'friendly' email explaining your situation with the negative results from above and ask them to de-list you. 2) Find a reputable internet provider (good luck on that).. This is just another FINE example of why we need the anti-spam law passed in the US. At least it'll help curb some of the spam/porn. ~Rick ___________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
