The above email got bounced, does anyone know why? Neither my (62.3.121.225) nor the .zen.co.uk IP's are blacklisted anywhere I can find. 208.249.200.24 is on one list (xbl.selwerd.cx), but that isn't (?) the sender.
parmenides.zen.co.uk was on spam blocklists until very recently - see http://groups.google.com/groups?q=212.23.8.69+group:news.admin.net-abuse.*&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=aij5pl%2414guph%241%40ID-66783.news.dfncis.de&rnum=1 for a discussion of that, or http://www.dsbl.org/listing.php?ip=212.23.8.69 for the literal details including results of relay tests; and see http://groups.google.com/groups?q=212.23.8.69+group:news.admin.net-abuse.*&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=001901c1ead6%24c6bd9a20%244fcf44c6%40default&rnum=4 for an example of spam that was relayed through that server.
Osirusoft seems to be a spam blocker, but blocking legitimate mail is going too far. I'd rather have the spam. And I object strongly to third (or fourth) parties deciding what to do with my mail.
It's the recipient, or someone acting on their behalf, who's deciding what to do with *their* mail, at least from the recipient's perspective. -- Greg Broiles -- gbroiles@parrhesia.com -- PGP 0x26E4488c or 0x94245961
