Yes, it's clear from that bounce message that att.net is blocking
email from Grex due to spam issues.

What is being done about this? Will it be done soon enough so that mnacbrd
doesn't have to find a new server? (It is a charitable non-profit that is
a Grex member as mnac.)

If the changes I've made to limit newuser access to outbound
mail are working, that should give us some time to let things
settle and start requesting removal from each of these lists
or get our bad-boy status timed out.

Assuming the changes work, what would be a guess for the time to be
removed from blocking lists?

No idea. The few times I've had systems on a blacklist in the past,
it was a transient problem with one of the blacklists that offer
a web interface to request or trigger a cleanup. With others, we
will simply have to wait until our bad rep times-out, so to speak.
There is some data in /var/log/maillog that may be useful. It seems
some smtpd daemons when rejecting you are kind enough to point to
a URL for further information on the spam service in question they
used to reject us.

As Bruce says, there are many block lists and all of them have their
own policies regarding removal.

The fuse is a Type S 15 amp with a white screw-type end, and the fuse boxes
belong to my landlord. Jim has removed corrosion before and will do so
tomorrow. I don't feel like buying my landlord a break panel.

Its only been a few days since the last time I was here... How come all of
the items are showing up as new? This has happened other times as well.

Is this by any chance the second time your are entering
those conferences since you relogged into the system for
the first time in a long while? When you join a conference,
picospan shows you the 1st and most recent items if I
recall correctly. The next time, I think everything you
haven't yet read suddenly shows up as new.

If you want to get removed from Comcast's blacklist, e-mail
blacklist_comcastnet@cable.comcast.com.
Here's how they will respond:
----------
Please do not reply to this message.
This is to notify you that your request for removal
from the comcast.net blocklist has been received.
If you have included your mail server's IP address in
your request, it will be removed within 24 hours.
Thank You
Comcast Network Abuse and Policy Observance

(My mother's ISP was blocked. I sent them a message from my mother's
e-mail address, and apparently this is what caused Comcast to allow my
mother's ISP to send again.)

re 119, if people respond to items, they shouldn't all show up as brand new
items so I'd have to read all the responses again, or work back and figure
out which ones aren't really brand new... It doesn't happen all the time,
just sometimes.

I think the conference restarted a couple weeks ago. Whatever; apparently
its not a big problem and only happened a couple times so far.

BACKTALK:
Today I changed my conference preferences to show new items before
new responses to existing items, and since I did that, the "READ NEW"
buttons show up as inactive despite text specifically indicating new
responses in the conference. I use the pistachio interface.

I am trying to have an email exchange with Jim's son. Mail I send him from
grex to his 'collegeclub' address bounces because collegeclub is using spamcop
as a single criterion for rejection. Now he says that mail he is sending me
at sdf is bouncing back because sdf is using the spamcop black list and
collegeclub is on the black list (starting some time today - I got mail from
him there earlier). So it is good to have several email address. I have to
write to him from sdf to collegeclub and he has to reply from there to grex.
Spamcop is causing more problems than the spam. Have gmail or aol or comcast
been on the spamcop list yet? Argh [TM]

Operamail.com is also using 'spamblock'. How long do we need to wait to get
off the spamcop list? Could we write and explain we are no longer allowing
new users to send mail?

Just looked at:
http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=grex.org
and got:
216.86.77.194 not listed in bl.spamcop.net
when verifying grex's current status.
Need more information to chase this any further.

I just had to sign up with spamcop in order to report the 7 Windows-1251 spams
that showed up in 12 hours because I can't figure out where sdf is putting
user mail. They have procmail, probably not spamassassin. Anyone know where
sdf/NetBSD normally puts user mail so I can use procmail there?
I just noticed that I put both my email addresses in my online resume - I am
amazed that the spammers did not reap the sdf one until recently. Maybe they
found the word Russian at my website and are sending 1251 for that reason?
All I see is Greek and math symbols. Linux does not seem to come with 1251,
just KOI8 and iso 8859-1 and cp866 Cyrillic.

spamblock at operamail.com is refusing grex mail, not spamcop.

I can't imagine what they are filtering on - it was a short letter
thanking someone (in plain English) for sending me a dictionary. I will
try again as a test.

They just returned another short email. Maybe they are using an out of date
spamcop blacklist?

Sdf also got the mail bounced back, but this time not by spamblock. Her
mailbox is full.
