We haven't been listed by any DNSBLs. It looks like it's just some -- a few? big? small? -- service providers that are doing some kind of check against our mail server, finding it behaving like an open relay, and routing mail from our mail server to their users' junk folders. I'll reply back shortly with the name of a specific provider. > > Some sample results from http://www.checkor.com/: > > They assume it is an open relay even though nothing was relayed.
