This is getting really annoying. It seems multiple large networks have stolen copies of the MAPS DUL (I wonder if this is the cause or an effect of MAPS going commercial?) which of course are not being kept in-sync with the real MAPS DUL. First it was Earthlink. Today's winner is usa.net. >>><[email protected]> >>> (reason: 550 Mail from 209.208.x.y refused. Please refer to >>> http://mail-abuse.org/dul for an explanation.) The address block in question above was removed from the DUL almost 2 weeks ago, but usa.net is still blocking mail from it today, and claiming that they're doing so via the MAPS DUL. How many other networks have stolen copies of the DUL and either nobody maintaining their local copies or bogus sendmail reject messages pointing you to the wrong place (or no place) to get the problem fixed? If you're going to run your own locally maintained email blacklist, at least get the rejection messages right and give out a correct URL for procedures on getting off your blacklist. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
