The reciever is setup to use a block list by ip address. So, lookup your MX and/or IP Address in a lookup site. For all potential email block/spam problems, I turn to www.dnsstuff.com
The MX for dirac.org is 'mail.dirac.org' The IP is 64.164.47.8' Looking up the IP Address at DNSStuff gets you http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=64.164.47.8 Your IP is listed in spambag.org's email blocklist http://www.spambag.org/cgi-bin/spambag?mailfrom=pacbell Pete, you spammer you. :) j/k Best of luck getting off of it seeing as it is a PacBell IP netblock. Your best hope is if 'netease.net' can whitelist your ip address. -sp -----Original Message----- From: Peter Jay Salzman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 8:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vox-tech] smtp question - blocked ip can someone give me a more useful description of the problem here? who is blocking whom? it sounds like my MTA rejected sending email to netease, but ORDB and tcp wrappers for exim (which i use) should block incoming mail from spammers, not outgoing mail to spammers. at least, i'm pretty sure about that... pete sorry for terse message, but i'm still on a 14.4..... ----- Forwarded message from Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 08:42:07 -0800 This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
