This was true when posted, but AFAIK it doesn't hold anymore. > Now my problem is I think we got affected by this and now all our > principals/clients cannot send us emails.

Sumasakit na ulo ko e.... There seems to be a contradiction there. If your MTA uses some blacklist to reject mail -FROM- other servers, they won't be able to send you email and your logs will mention that you've rejected server so-and-so because it was listed in a certain blacklist. On the other hand, if your mail exchange's IP address is listed in some blacklist, you won't be able to send mail -TO- servers that use that blacklist, and you will see a rejection message (and should generate a bounce-back) with the exact notice usually telling you why. Part of your message also says that your mail exchange is supposedly listed as an open relay. Even if you're not an open relay, an RBL may list you for one reason or another. You have to find out -WHICH- RBL has you listed, see if you can find out why, and work to get your IP address delisted. A tool that can help you find out which RBLs has you listed is ORDB.org's RBL lookup, which you can access using <http://www.ordb.org/lookup/rbls/?host=ip.add.re.ss> where ip.add.re.ss is the IP address of your mail exchange. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
