Serbulent, There are two ways - one is just paitently waiting for people to auto rec= heck=20 your sever. The other is to go to all of the sites and request a retest.= =20 The former is the most relyable and wastes the less time. But goto the s= ites=20 of the ones that are causing bounced email.
I fell into the same trap. I knew 100% certain my server was an open rel= ay=20 when I set it up - but since we are such a small company I thought "no on= e=20 would know about our little IP - I'll get it secure on Monday" Which inde= ed I=20 did. By Monday however we had been totally black listed. The problem is= of=20 course when you make it onto one of those lists - more spammers use your=20 server because it's listed publicly. XMail SMTP is rediculessly easy to secure - and I knew how to do it on th= e=20 Friday it was mear lazyness that caused me not to worry untill Monday. I= =20 would suggest that the relevent line of the readme be increased in font s= ize=20 and made red ;-) On that note - I have some praise for AOL (now nobody has ever heard me g= ive=20 them praise before). Unlike many mailservers who rely on these black lis= ts -=20 AOL actually conducts their own test of your mail server EVERY time you s= end=20 them an email. Ie. - it went like this. 1. email bounces. 2. I secure = the=20 server. 3. email sends. As opposed to any blacklist (dns or otherwise)=20 related blocking which had a 2a. step - wait a week...
