Problems sending mail from SpamCop to FreeServe


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Folks,

I've had problems replying to mail recently, the most recent example follows (A FreeServe account). Previously I've had problems sending mail to FSNet.co.uk (possibly related to freeserve judging from the name?).

Is this error being generated on the FreeServe side or the Spamcop side?

-Yours,

Mike

Final-Recipient: rfc822;steven[at]xxxxxxxx.freeserve.co.uk

Action: failed

Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure)

Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-': Client host rejected: Access denied' (delivery attempts: 0)

Reporting-MTA: dns; c60.cesmail.net

The following message to <steven[at]xxxxxxxx.freeserve.co.uk> was undeliverable.

The reason for the problem:

5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-'<c60.cesmail.net[216.154.195.49]>: Client host rejected: Access denied'

The error message clearly indicates that Freeserve has decided to block email connections from SpamCop's server(s) ("Client host rejected"). That's what a 554 error means during an SMTP session. Given that, you'd have to talk to FreeServe, or better yet, get "Steven" to bring this to their attention for an explanation and how to get the blocking removed. In many cases, the sending server's admin would need to get involved, so Wazoo, you might want to bring this to JT's attention.

was done ... just noting that Freeserve has had numerous issues, sometimes it boiled down to a specific server, which is why I was hoping for a bit more data to go on.

Hi all,

I haven't got much more data available as yet - I'd certainly agree that it looks like FreeServe is rejecting the messages before they've reached the FreeServe mail system. This is the third FreeServe customer I've tried to reply to over the last fortnight or so, and all have failed with a 554 error. Its a bit awkward since freeServe is one of the most popular ISPs in the UK... <doh>

But read on...

Following are:

1) The response to a query about the issue I sent to FreeServe / FSNet ... (now called Wanadoo). Personally I think they've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm also beginning to wonder if they're actually using a whitelist rather than a blacklist, and not finding [216.154.195.49] on the whitelist.

2) The complete message source of the failure message (munged).

Hi Steven,

From memory I'm reasonably sure it does, but I can't double-check because

I've already packed it! I put 1st class postage on it, so you should receive

it on Saturday if the Post Office are being good.

-Yours,

Mike

Hi, Mike,

...They don't necessarily have the "wrong end of the stick." It coud be that they're retailiating against SpamCop for being on the SC blocklist. I certainly have reported them as a spam source, many times!

Not that it's much help, but this just back from JT;

Yes, I seem to remember a UK ISP that was blocking us. I've got no idea why.
