Getting owned by spamhaus...

[mountain muscle]

Anyone know how the hell to fix this?

Spamhaus is flagging the ip's for any email sent on the company emails.

I get a 553 "

IP Address Lookup


67.1**.75.***is not listed in the SBL

67.1**.75.*** is listed in the PBL, in the following records:

PBL114748

67.1**.75.*** is not listed in the XBL





If the IP you are checking is not in our database, but you are receiving bounce messages saying it is, then it is probable the IP has been removed from our database but DNS servers around the internet have not yet updated. In this case, wait 1-2 hours and the blocking should clear by itself.

This lookup tool is for manual (non-automated) lookups only. Any perceived use of automated tools to access this system will result in firewalling or other countermeasures.

And now Outlook is going all JH1 <read retarded> on me and smtp relays are not working for any accounts.



On another note, how the hell did I become an IT guy? I have been hitting the computer with a pipe wrench and that doesn't seem to help.

Thanks for the JH1 = retarded comments.

1) You prolly should edit your IP out of the post, I would.
2) You should be using Comcast's SMTP servers to resolve this problem.

Spamhaus has the IP range you are in on a block list because the range is for end users, and they beleive you should use a validated SMTP server provided by your ISP. As above.

Ok JH, thanks for responding. Our mail server is hosted through godaddy, comcast is my provider. The company emails are the problem. I don't know if having two smtp relays in outlook is the problem or what because I know shit all about this stuff.

How many computers are we talking about?

Having two SMTP relays in outlook?

Do you know how to do a screen shot?

Take a screen shot of your outlook setting and PM me with it.

PBL is the Policy Block List -- Comcast has TOLD Spamhaus "this is an end-user IP address" and as such your company email has no business coming from that (end-user) IP address.

Hey, it sucked when I couldn't run my email off my home Linux box, but your beef isn't with Spamhaus; it's with Comcast. You want to run a business, it's time to pony up for a commercial account or at least smarthost (set your mailer to relay through) at a machine that is recognized as a real mail server.
