showker Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 TODAY, two posts on my listserv, which has been running unblocked since 1994, got BLOCKED -- and I don't know if it's the listserv getting blocked, or the "users" who posted. Both are in India. I tried the SpamCop IP lookup to see if any of the IPs were blocked by SpamCop and they're NOT. However, at the end of the header it said: > X-SpamCop-Disposition: Blocked xbl.spamhaus.org One of the guys had indeed sent a spam to the list -- advertising links, etc., -- but I just want to make sure the list itself is not blocked. It's whitelisted on my SpamCop -- but was still put in the HOLD folder Can anyone steer me in the right direction??? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You need to look at the other spamcop headers to fully determine which IP address listed the message (it will be the last IP listed). Also presenting the other headers will help us determine why it was not whitelisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agsteele Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I tried the SpamCop IP lookup to see if any of the IPs were blocked by SpamCop and they're NOT. However, at the end of the header it said: > X-SpamCop-Disposition: Blocked xbl.spamhaus.org [snip] It's whitelisted on my SpamCop -- but was still put in the HOLD folder Sounds like this is an Email or Lounge topic... My understanding is that the whitelist overrules any blocklist filtering. As Steven Underwood notes, without seeing the headers it is impossible to say what has happened. My GUESS would be that the list address isn't what Email service is seeing which means the whitelist isn't effective and then the original sender's IP is being identified as a spam source. But without the headers this is conjecture. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Sounds like this is an Email or Lounge topic... <snip> ...It does to me, too. For now, I'm moving it to the e-mail Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showker Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thanks guys... I checked each IP address, and it was the sender's -- not the list. My lists are getting to the point where they're not worth it any more... they're heavily moderated, but continue to get 50 attempted spams for every authentic post. If it weren't for the loyal following of the list, I would have shut it down yesterday. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
