Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the response.
I have received one mail from Mail.com and that was the one claiming my
machine may be an open relay, and of course it isn't, that was a few days ago
now. I have not heard back from several messages sent since, and I need this
machine unblacklisted ASAP as the many different domains that mail.com et al
use are too numerous to keep track of and route through other machines, and
many of our subscribers are being dropped from the lists through no fault of
their own.
WHat can I do to get this resolved?
Thanks,
Justin Bell
