Have you alerted/queried JT Andrew?
Yes, and had a very prompt response and request for some additional data.

The outgoing SMTP is being listed by AOL.UK as having a bad reputation and all messages are delayed and then bounced back after 72 hours...
Example at: http://postmaster.aol.com/Reputation.php using IP 216.154.195.49 (c60.cesmail.net)

as a user I can see from official documentation linked two post before, email service is POP only
I don't know about the documentation but I'm using the Spamcop flat-rate Email service via IMAP everyday.

for sure, I hadn't pay if the service do not provide an IMAP account.
I do not know where I read that, maybe also there miss some official docs
I think, perhaps, you are misunderstanding comments...
The Email service is IMAP.
But you were asking about the SMTP server so comments should be understood relating to that part of the service.

IIUC, the greylisting is primarily useful only for messages sent *directly* to your SpamCop/CESMail email address.
Is that correct, email account customers?
Yes, that's correct. Anything forwarded from another Email address should be delivered because the forwarding mail server will retry.

MY IP HERE SPOOFEDEMAIL[at]spam.COM 2009-07-15 15:44:00 2009-07-15 19:44:00 3
So I see where "MY IP HERE" is, that it's the IP of my host, where my email account is hosted. I don't see that IP on the "Rejected Entries", so it seems the graylisting is only holding the messages relayed from that IP, but inevitably delivering them to my inbox. Normal?
I'm not completely sure what your question is but to say that grey listing doesn't do an IP check. GL simply delays delivery pending a second attempt by the relaying server. Since the vast majority of spammers do not keep attempting delivery, any mail item attempted once only is discarded as spam. Any item where a delivery attempt is retried is then passed onto your mailbox. So if the relaying IP tries a second time then it will be delivered. Once an Email address is seen as correctly delivered it is entered onto an OK list and the next message is delivered without delay.
Grey listing is one part of SpamCop EMAIL where the sending Email address is the key factor rather than the IP address - just to confuse us all further.

I would like to hear from other people however (SC employees in particular) on if there's any other way around this issue besides using webmail.
For me the solution was to stop using the PBL

I now found the ip to the ISP provider but that doesn't help much, I could call and ask them but i doubt they would/could help me... is there any way to find the person/adress/phone i'm looking for if I have the isp ip/location? (which i do)
If your friend has changed Email address and you have no other means of contacting him/her then you've lost contact and will have to wait for him/her to contact you.

I've been happily using the SMTP AUTH process for outgoing mail since shortly after it was introduced.
Every so often I send myself a copy of an outgoing Email and direct it to my SpamCop Email account.
Recently I enabled the pbl.spamhaus.net block list on that account and suddenly find that mail I send to myself is blocked.
It was easy enough to discover that when I send a message through smtp.cesmail.net on port 587 using SMTP AUTH, the source of the Email remains at my home machine's IP even though the Spamhause FAQ says that
PBL listings do not affect sending mail via legitimate "smarthost" mail servers using SMTP AUTH, as operated by all ISPs.I can overcome the issue by switching to an alternative SMTP server but I'm wondering if there is a strange config for the SC smtp machine. Anyone have any knowledge?

It seems that my suggestion that Yahoo! may have changed something to cause the issue may have been on target...
I wish you well resolving the problem...

How do I find out if anyone else is having a problem? Is it a spamcop or yahoo problem?
I don't POP my Yahoo! account but I can say that POPGATE is notoriously subject to problems when a service provider makes even small changes to their configuration. You would be better forwarding to Spamcop than using the popgate.
That said, my accounts that I do have set up to be POPped are all being successfully collected at this time.

In the UK the Information Commissioner handles complaints about unsolicited SMS spam as well regular Email spam from identifiable UK sources.
I'm not sure whether they will accept complaints from Australia about SMS messages that originate in the UK but you can only ask.

OK, this is back intermittently.
Just noting Jeff's original announcement...
First, all the caveats:- This service is beta. It could go away or be unavailable at any time. However, if we accept your email, we'll definitely deliver it. No email will disappear.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

Hi Gary!
As Wazoo has explained, the receiving ISP is the one that chooses to make use of the SpamCop BL. Typically ISPs choose to block rather than filter causing the issue you describe.
Looking at the failure messages you provide above I'd say your South African contact is working through an ISP who has chosen to block based on the SpamCop BL. So your colleague probably has it within his power to address the problem with his/her ISP.
That said, many ISPs choose to use the SCBL because it is very responsive to spam problems and helps them reduce the load of spam flowing through their servers. This saves them money on bandwidth and Email storage.
You also have the opportunity to work towards resolving the problem from your own end. You appear to be sending your Email through an ISP that, for whatever reason (could be accidental or intentional) has a flow of spam flowing through the server. You could work with an ISP that does not have such problems and your Email would flow freely. There are many such ISPs you could switch to in order to avoid the problem but still retain your current incoming Email address.

Yes!
I've been registered for years but since they launched their UK presence I've started receiving Email shots on a regular basis.
I checked my profile online and discovered that I had agreed to receive Emails so I unchecked all the receive mail options.
Still those messages keep arriving. So with the one I received just yesterday I began reporting then as spam since I have removed myself from their Email lists.
(I also changed my profile so that the Email address provided is entirely fictitious so hopefully that will fix the problem permanently).

Hotmail blocking CESmail outbound mailserver
in SpamCop Email System & Accounts
Posted
I have given up on the CESMail SMTP and will give up on CESMail at the next renewal. The webmail was only marginally relevant but the SMTP made the sub worthwhile for all the reasons above.
Without a resolution of the sending challenges it won't be worth continuing. But it seems CESMail hasn't been able to persuade Microsoft/Hotmail that smtp.cesmail.net isn't a source of spam.
Or perhaps the flow of spam hasn't been stopped...
