RE: [Nolug] FREE!!!

Hi Petri.

There is a blacklist devoted just to Rackspace. It lists all of their IP
ranges.

Certainly they do host mostly legit servers, but they turn a deaf ear to
complaints about spam. After seeing this firsthand I did a bit of research
and found that this was well known. That's when I added their address
spaces to my blacklist. I've had to make a half-dozen or so exemptions
since, but it's stopped a ton of spam.

Enjoy!

Aha....!!

I sort of suspected something like that. I mean that my server is within a
part of a larger block blacklisted somewhere.

Which blacklist are you using? I checked my IP with njabl, spamhaus and 3
other blacklists and could not find an entry for my IP.

In the case of Rackspace being a notorious host for spammers.... I believe
hosting provider who hosts major part of all hosted servers can not avoid of
becoming a host for spammers too. I've been very satisfied with Rackspace.

And yes, please make my IP as exemption as I have some friends using
sstar.com as their ISP and occasionally need to send them e-mail.

Really sad case is the merchant service I've used for couple of years.
AOHell started blocking their e-mails some months ago and that could never
be solved. Additionally, I don't have any control over sending the invoices
from other address to my customers using AOHell. (At least not until I
finish my scripts of using their API and start sending the invoices directly
from my server.)

Because 64.49.251.239 is in IP space allocated to Rackspace - a notorious
host of many spammers.

I'll be glad to put in an exemption for your address, however.

No biggie....

My off list reply bounced back due to southern star blacklisting my server.

I wonder why tho ????
