[[Resolved] Road Runner Blocking SpamCop Mail]

[Not related to this issue but to road runner in general]. I always wondered if roadrunner does anything about spamcop reports? I always see rr.com in the top10 or top 20 in the http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=hoshame#domsum . Perhaps you could help everyone out there by opening up similar tickets for all the spamcop reports!

Yes they do come through. Also you have to realize that rr.com covers a HELL of a lot of IP space. And, as Telarin suggested, about 8 million RR subscribers.

Each division has their own email subdomain.

nyc.rr.com = new york city + new jersey

san.rr.com = san diego california

ec.rr.com = kansas city (no idea where "ec" comes from")

etc. etc.

Abuse tickets are assigned to and handled by each division, determined by the originating IP in the spam headers. In my division (not the largest), we get 25-75 abuse tickets a DAY. I can't fathom how many the NY City division must get.

[[Resolved] Road Runner Blocking SpamCop Mail]

The RoadRunner postmaster advises me that he has punched a hole in their outbound filters that will allow spam submissions to be delivered when they're addressed to our "submit" and "quick" addresses.

This was a recent thing, spamcop submissions started being silently filtered after they upgraded the mail system.

I work in the NOC for one of the Roadrunner divisions, and opened a ticket with the mail guys when my own submissions started failing to go through.

Since it was the central mail sysops that made the change, hopefully this will apply to ALL roadrunner divisions across the USA.

Glad I could help!
