Bigfoot, the mail forwarding service that at one time promised "free email addresses for life", has recently moved at least some of their servers to Korea. One of my users has her bigfoot address forwarded to my mail server. Mail to her looks to our server as if it comes from bflitemail-kr2.bigfoot.com.
All well and good, except that the korean IP is in the blackholes.us cn-kr list. Since it's, you know, in Korea. That list is one of our best spam stoppers. Bigfoot, providing better customer service to my user than I expected, asked me to unblock them. Questions: 1: Has anyone else run into this with Bigfoot and if so, how did you solve it? 2: If a message is blacklisted by a RBL, does it even get to the router to process? Does adding Bigfoot to the router (*bigfoot.com%blacklisted = *bigfoot.com) let them through? Does it open me up for other spam if I do so? I'm willing to tell my user "sorry, you can't use Bigfoot unless they send your mail from a site outside of Korea or convince blackholes.us to exclude them." But if I have a simple answer that I can implement, I'd prefer that. TIA, Michael -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
