nagendra.setty Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi, We have a hosted mail/web server for our company's e-mail needs. WE ARE NOT IN SPAMMING business and have a strict policy against spamming. However every once in a while our e-mails get blocked by spamcop for apparently no reason that we can think of. We have gone through Spamcop's FAQ on why IPs get blocked, but still unable to understand the reason. Could it be that someone is deliberately reporting our IP with a bad intent of blocking our e-mails? What is the reason for such blocking? It causes HUGE INCONVENIENCE and Loss for our business as we are unable to contact our suppliers by e-mail due to this. This problem occurs every once in a month. Is there a way to know the REASON WHY OUR IP is blocked by SpamCop? How to get it undone? - Nagendra R Sety This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

turetzsr Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 ...Hi, Mr Setty, ...Sorry to hear of your problem! <snip>Could it be that someone is deliberately reporting our IP with a bad intent of blocking our e-mails?...Possible but unlikely. Per SpamCop FAQ article "What is on the list?" one or just a few people reporting spam from an IP address can not get it added. However, sending to SpamCop spam Traps can!<snip> It causes HUGE INCONVENIENCE and Loss for our business as we are unable to contact our suppliers by e-mail due to this. ...Unsolicited and perhaps unwanted advice: this is a real risk for your business; e-mail is not now, never has been and probably never will be a guaranteed delivery mechanism for various reasons. Wise enterprises have alternate means of contacting their important associates.<snip> This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error.

Can you explain how this might be accomplished? I don't see how it's possible to remove an IP address from a list on which it does not appear. ...Or are you asking how to stop the e-mail delivery denials with the (apparently erroneous) messages about being on the SpamCop blacklist? It is possible that either (1) the IP address does occasionally find itself onto the SpamCop blacklist for a short time or (2) your e-mails are being denied delivery for some reason other than your IP address being on the SpamCop blacklist. If the former, perhaps someone who knows how will happen by here and take the time and effort to look into the history and post instances. Or you can contact the admins responsible for admin[at]sourcedns.com, abuse[at]sourcedns.com and/ or lisa[at]webclickhosting.com, as those abuse addresses receive spam reports submitted by SpamCop users. If the latter, you will have to contact the admins of the services that are rejecting your e-mail to find out the real reason they are rejecting. I note that their rejection notice points to "evidence" that I, at least, can not access -- http://www.blacklistchecks.com/69.167.138.87 -- they at least need to have a cluestick taken to them about that! <g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
