IP address blocked but can't find why

[levih]

Hi,

I am an adsl user and I am using a static IP address.

My IP address 212.174.59.16 is in the blocked list. I go to http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml to find the cause of the listing, I cannot see any cause, it's empty.

so why am I listed?

tx for your help

You are absolutely correct. There is no information there. Perhaps it is another change because spammers were using what little information was there.

The most common reason is that your computer has been trojanized. (there is a pinned FAQ on the SMTP/Auth exploit) The second most common reason is that you send autoresponses or send email bounces of spam.

The deputies can give you some information about the probable cause.

This IP is listed in many blocklists.

Either your computer is insecure, (open proxy, SMTP Auth, Worm etc.) or you could have acquired an IP that has been abused by another person.

This is a Dynamic IP address. Why are you running an email server from a Dynamic IP? Why don't you send you email through your ISP's server. Many admins will not accept email from a dynamic IP address.

It appears to be the SMTP/AUTH exploit --see this faq:
