That was probably bounced back to you from one of the WDVL subscribers' mail server, as I received both from the list. I'm beginning to see more and more of this myself. At first, I thought it was my own domains that were being blocked.

The last block message I received was from an aweber mail server. It was pretty clear and indicated that the server being blocked was a RoadRunner server. My ISP is wireless, and probably renting bandwidth from RR to resell.

Going into Eudora's mail settings for the accounts being blocked, I changed them to use my own domains' mail servers (on two different hosting companies) and tried again. They went through! So, it wasn't my domains being blocked, but my ENTIRE ISP!!

If the people designing and using these draconian filters don't learn to do a better job of filtering out just the offenders instead of blocking the entire highway the offender used, this could get bad. Some ISP's won't let users use their own mail servers calling the practice 'relaying' - a tactic used by many spammers. Blocking 'legitimate' relaying, where username/password authentication is used, is like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Cheers,
Tom Fosson
