How does it work?

I just got blocked by the AT&T's blacklist (in contacting ab...@att.com,
besides...), but I'm pretty sure my MX is not an open relay or other kind of
nifty thing.

Maybe AT&T blocks whole address bunches from which some hosts are spamming?
Because this could explain me why: my MX is co-located...


$ host tomassoni.biz
tomassoni.biz has address 62.149.201.242
tomassoni.biz has address 62.149.220.102
tomassoni.biz mail is handled by 10 c0.edlui.it.

$ host c0.edlui.it
c0.edlui.it has address 62.149.220.102
c0.edlui.it has address 62.149.201.242

$ host 62.149.201.242
242.201.149.62.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer host242-201-149-62.serverdedicati.aruba.it.

$ host 62.149.220.102
102.220.149.62.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer host102-220-149-62.serverdedicati.aruba.it.

So both IPs use generic hostnames, which are a sign of "half configured" servers.

think as the receiving side. when I see spam out of joe.spam.example, I blocklist spam.example (and possibly every IP and domain related to them). If I see spam coming from host1-2-364.serverdedicati.aruba.it, what will I blacklist?
