Dear Stacy,
I do this as part of my job -- sort out mail bounces for people whose
mail bounced when they don't know why.
What it means is the following:
We still need to see full mail headers on a bounce to know what to do.
We're all talking in guesswork until that happens. Actually, your
admin at the mailing list company you use needs to see it, so they
can diagnose it and provide the service you're paying them for.
As an attempt to help with educated guesswork, here is my reading of
the following. (Remember, I'm a paid professional that does this
(deals with RBL's for an ISP) as part of my job)
The three black lists your IP were on include
1) blars. He's a nutjob. He lists thousands of IP on a whim, and
unless your intended recipient made the mistake of trusting his RBL,
you should be safe.
2) PBSL. I requested it remove your IP. It doesnt explain how it got
on there, but unless your IP sent it spam, it says you are fine. Lists
like this are a pain for large ISP because they move IP around a lot with
DHCP, and its up to the individual to remove what might have been added
months before by somebody else.
3) JAMMRBL. I queried your IP with their list, and it replied
"This blocklist is very aggressive and will likely lead to false positives.
Anyone using it understands and agrees:
* Anyone using this list does so at their own volition and JAMM Consulting
is not liable for any outcomes from the use and/or misuse of this list.
If you disagree with this policy, do not use this list for any purposes
whatsoever."
Result for 63.84.193.226: "Sent a notice to the ISP that owns the block
containing this IP. They have not yet provided the information requested."
So basically it appears they black-list the entire internet and wait for people
to beg to be let off.
So there you have it. One potential actual reason for being RBL'd, and two
confirmable very-aggressive lists. I can say with almost certainty that
AOL or Earthlink don't listen to any of these people. It would result in
thousands of false positive blocks a day.
So if it wasnt RBL'd, what happened?
Thats why we need a full header from one or more of your mail bounces.
You should be working with the folks at ezine at this point, if this
were following normal escalations. But if you want to forward a full
header of a bounce we can probably figure something out.
Kind regards,
