Hi Michael, AFAIK if a domain is listed as "bad" on SORBS it returns a 127.0.0.1 result when queried by the spambox, which causes it to class the mail as bad.

Hi Andre,
Yes, we had a major problem with that on our Barracuda spambox yesterday. We have disabled the SORBS list until we figure out why/if it’s going to happen again.
<snip> Can anyone enlighten me as to how having 127.0.0.1 in SORBS is causing issues? Surely DNSBLs are only checked against the source IP of the connecting machine, and I don't imagine it's worth checking DNSBLs for localhost connections? I guess I'm probably missing something obvious here... -- -Michael Fincham System Administrator, Unleash www.unleash.co.nz Phone: 0800 750 250 DDI: 03 978 1223 Mobile: 027 666 4482 _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
