OT: fighting rbl's

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have been repeatedly affected by RBL providers incorrectly listing my
static IP address in their dial-up ranges causing my messages to be
rejected by the servers of several clueless wannabe administrators.

What makes things really worse is that none of these lists is even close
to being well maintained and it usually takes weeks to get removed.

I first thought of a cronjob to nag the removal contact about once per
hour, but I doubt this account does ever get read.

Currently I am trying to use all contacts I can find for the RBL
provider and recipient domain and ask them to unlist my IP and/or stop
using the broken RBL.

Unfortunately some of those bastards even use their own RBL to prevent
such requests from getting through and I wonder what else I can do.

Launch wget with an invalid URL once per second to put my removal
request in their httpd log?

Reciprocally blocking their domain from delivering here?

Any other ideas?

Tom
