Hi Lars & all,

We have landed on the following DNS blacklist with our mail servers: “ix.dnsbl.manitu.net <http://ix.dnsbl.manitu.net>”. This is reported by our monitoring system (Nagios). According to the website, this blacklist has been out of service since January 2025.

Now our question, how can it be that we still end up on this list and how can we have ourselves removed again?

no chance - as it appears, Manitu/Nixspam has gone berzerk:

Hello List

I'm aware Manitu/Nixspam shut down a while ago, but iirc they promised RFC 
compliant slow shutdown. As of today we see an increased number of rejects due 
to Manitu listings. A quick lookup of some samples indicates that 
ix.dnsbl.manitu.net is returning 127.0.0.2 for every query. Thus any mail 
administrator still querying that list results in their clients having a very 
quiet inbox today...

Can anyone confirm? Is there a statement from Manitu?

And as it appears the entire of Berlin's public service might have a quiet friday today in terms of inbound external email - that's how I got to notice this failure.

Cheers from Berlin-Friedenau

        -C.
