Derek T Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I have spoken to Telivo, who said that emails coming from their server are often seen as spam. They said I should use my ISP as outgoing server, but this isn't always possible as I often 'hotdesk' in various companies... I think you know the anwer to this one, given their answer. If they can't get a grip on their servers and stop the spammers using them, then they can't offer you the service you are paying for. Vote with your wallet. Edit: telivo.com resolves to 195.82.107.237 host 195.82.107.237 = smtp.telivo.com (cached) host 195.82.107.237 = smtp.telivo.com (cached) [report history] Routing details for 195.82.107.237 [refresh/show] Cached whois for 195.82.107.237 : abuse[at]mailbox.net.uk Using abuse net on abuse[at]mailbox.net.uk abuse net mailbox.net.uk = abuse[at]mailbox.net.uk Using best contacts abuse[at]mailbox.net.uk Statistics: 195.82.107.237 not listed in bl.spamcop.net More Information.. 195.82.107.237 not listed in dnsbl.njabl.org 195.82.107.237 not listed in dnsbl.njabl.org 195.82.107.237 not listed in cbl.abuseat.org 195.82.107.237 not listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net 195.82.107.237 not listed in relays.ordb.org.

turetzsr Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Claranet...Hmm, results not all good. I did the following Google search: http://groups.google.com/groups?scoring=d&...t+group:*abuse* and got several hits, including (going back to 25 August, 2006) Top 100 Sites identified by Ultra/spam Hippo Despam Sep 06, 06 (ClaraNet listed as # 35) several others from Hippo for different dates re:Hi (80.168.175.245) Your Order Receipt (#16476734) ...Can't say whether this constitutes enough to qualify ClaraNet as bad but you should be aware that they seem to have some problems controlling spew.

Farelf Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Going by the listings for the Claranet UK Mail Platform this seems a capable organisation: http://www.senderbase.org/search?searchBy=...Mail%20Platform One or two assorted DNSBL listings in there but, given the volume, I've certainly seen a lot worse.

Farelf Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 claranet good, plusnet better IMNSHOShown in some searches as the network owner for the big plus.com domain, examples of which cf http://www.senderbase.org/search?searchBy=...g=84.92.142.134 et al. and whom I am sure have carried users who have spammed me in the past (but that's hardly an exclusive club). Presumably you have had some good experiences with these people Derek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably you have had some good experiences with these people Derek? Been with them for 10 years or more, very proactive, above all by UK standards cheap. Great customer service, their SMTP servers have never in 10 years been refused by anyone I've emailed. 250Mb web-space with full access to SQL, scripts etc. From what you posted it seems they could be a lot more proactive with trojanned customers though! IFAIK none of that ASDL pool should be mailing at all - though it is possible that some customers are running their own mailservers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 So, stefi, I guess we're a tough bunch to impress, provider-wise. Notwithstanding mixed reviews there seems a fair chance you will be well pleased with Claranet, if not, Derek who knows whereof he speaks reckons plusnet. At least if *that* didn't work out you could heigh off to Kneightley of wherever he's at and demonstrate your mastery of eki-thump upon his sorry sconce.
