Sometimes some IPs get listed and unlisted in Spamcop ... Example 1 : relay=iad-fw-global.amazon.com [207.171.167.25] http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=207.171.167.25 Example 2 : relay=sc8-sf-sshgate.sourceforge.net [66.35.250.220] http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=66.35.250.220 [EMAIL PROTECTED] My recommended Safe RBLS list : NJABL, ORDB, SPAMHAUS , BLITZED.

I remember stumbling accross this site once before. I remember because the picture of him reminded me of a former landlord. Landlord was also into many of the same interests as this guy. One of the school districts I support at work ended up on his list and someone they were trying to send mail to was using it. I told the district to contact the mail admin at the other domain and advise them as long as he was using block.blars.org, they would never get email from the district. I never did hear back on the status of that incident. To everyone else that wrote with suggestions: Thank you for the suggestions. For now, I have implemented SpamCop and Spamhaus' SBL. ___ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
