And not just the cable ones either - a good percentage of their mail servers that permanently connected business customers are supposed to use as relays, or if they can't set up their own mail server, are there as well. I keep catching hell at work because the RBL lookup matches, and blocks legitimate inbound mail. I remove the server, but as soon as another message comes through - BAM, right back in. And there is *no* consistancy as far as which server gets used - you can't say "Client XX uses server YY for outbound mail all the time", and put in an exception for server YY. > I have so far spent over 5 hours on the phone to telstra suport > bots (actually an insult to most functional bot programs) explaining > to them that its their responsibility to get Telstra's mail servers > out of the database. You are flat out wasting your time. The only thing that got Telstra off their arse to fix their news servers was the threat of a UDP against them - and even then, they did it at the absolute last minute. > Telstra are beyond clueless and I advise anyone to stay well away > from them. So do I, but unfortunately, you can't stop people sending you mail from a Telstra account.
