Hi list, looks like one of our customer's mail servers may been an open relay, and using us as a smart host.
Hence we appear to have been blacklisted by this body as referenced below. (This was forwarded by our customer). I've never seen a mail of this type that basically amounts to blackmail before. Has anyone had any dealings with these people? Does anyone actually use them as an RBL? Thanks, Owen From: UCEPROTECT-Network [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 July 2004 12:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ticket UCE-L1E2004713134818 Dear Sirs, You requested to remove IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from UCEPROTECT-Blacklist Level 1. If you did not file this request, please inform us, so we can find and punish the responsible person which faked your identity. This is an instruction, what to do next, so please read carefully. Our Stuff will check your IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx at OpenBRL within one business day, to find out, whether or not it is also listed at other Blacklists too. If http://openrbl.org/dnsbl?i=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does not know other POSITIVES than UCEPROTECT, that is true only if the counter for POSITIVES shows a maximum of 1, there is no need to do anything additional now. You will not have to pay. Your IP will become deleted from UCEPROTECT-L1 shortly and and you will be notified about that. But if http://openrbl.org/dnsbl?i=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx knows additional POSITIVES on other Blacklists, you will have to pay 10 Euros per each POSITIVE by Paypal. It is important to tell us, it makes sense to send a Paypal-Request to you. You will only get an Invoice, if you tell us, that you will pay. If you do nothing, your IP will stay blacklisted for at least 12 Month from now. We will delete your IP from UCEPROTECT-L1 as soon as we receive your Payment, and you will be notified about that. Please note: It is our users choice, how often they synchronize our database. After an record is deleted, it can possibly take up to 24 hours, before all Systems worldwide will accept Mail from such a formerly blacklisted IP. If you have still questions, feel free to mail our Hotline or just call: Hotline Germany: 01805 - 444 894 208 Hotline International: + 49 - 1805 - 444 894 208 If you contact our Hotline, you should have your Ticket-Number available otherwise we can not give any help to you.
