Re: all incoming mail is being blocked

I am having a problem with SPAMBLAZE & SORBS spam lists.

My ISP is BT (British Telecom) and SORBS accidently put their entire range
of static IP addresses on the dynamic list... therefore anyone using SORBS
lists does not receive our mail.

BT have been on to them but they are being unforgivably slow, removing one
or two IPs a day when there are hundreds that THEY have incorrectly listed.

They are just hiding behind thier website and are impossible to get any
sense out of. Does anyone know of an Internet body I can go to to complain
about this. From what I have heard SORBS is run my a group of volunteers
from AUS, please correct me if I am wrong.

I just find it unbelievable that they could so easially block so many UK
companies from sending mail.

Thanks

Apparently, a "domain grabber" listed that domain with a "wildcard DNS"

that means.

Whether it was right or not, "dsn.rdc-ignorant.org" has been on my RBL
list for months and months without any problem until yesterday. That
is when it started rejecting all incoming mail.

We are running SBS2003 Premium and hosting our own mail server. Right
now, every incoming message is being returned as undeliverable with a
message such as this:

dsn.rdc-ignorant.org


There is no dsn.rdc-ignorant.org
It's a typo!
It must be "dsn.rfc-ignorant.org" (f instead of d)

So whoever's server uses dsn.rdc-ignorant.org will REJECT ALL MAIL,
since dsn.rdc-ignorant.org has a wildcard adddres record, see:

# host foobar.de.dsn.rdc-ignorant.org
foobar.de.dsn.rdc-ignorant.org has address 64.20.43.107

# host aol.com.dsn.rdc-ignorant.org
aol.com.dsn.rdc-ignorant.org has address 66.45.225.11

I've visited the http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/ website, but I don't
really understand what is wrong.

rfc-ignorant.org != rdc-ignorant.org
