ernie@quattro.co.za Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hi, We're running a bulk email service (Not spam), and use 2 servers to send. The local address of the one is 11.11.11.2 and the sender is 11.11.11.3 You have records of 11.11.11.3 listed on your website, and we have received complaints that this is a spam address. The emails are actually sending from 207.12.88.178 Why is it listing this invalid address on your website, and how can it be removed. Thanks Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ernie 11.11.11.3 *is* a valid address. 11.0.0.0 - 11.255.255.255 is allocated to the United States Department of Defense. You should not be using publicly routable addresses as "local addresses" You should only be using the following address ranges in your local network: >> 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 >> 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 >> 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
