On that subject, I notice that etrn.iconz.co.nz has (probably recently) started using SORBS's dynamic DNS blacklist, and I've had reported e-mail complaints from Xtra and TelstraClear DSL customers today.
Depends, would over 6 months ago fall into the realm of recently?
Generally, when we find this happening, we contact the sysadmin on the remote end and advise them that they are likely blocking a whole set of e-mail they want to receive - harder when it's an ISP. With Xtra's Port
Actually, its no harder.
25 push, it could be that ICONZ have decided to have a flag day, forcing everyone wishing to communicate with them, running a (small business) mail server on a DSL connection, to now use their upstream ISP's mail server - losing the ability to diagnose mail routing after it disappears "into the black box".
Is this the future?
A future full of wildly innacurate assumptions? I HOPE NOT!! Xtra are more than welcome to update their records with sorbs, resolving the problem.
