Well, you'd hope not wouldn't you? But then the behavior between reasonable human beings gives no indication of that applying between corporations, governments and other aggregations.

Their desigated SMTP servers appear to be

216.9.247.48 smtp01.bis.ap.blackberry.com

216.9.247.49 smtp02.bis.ap.blackberry.com

216.9.248.48 smtp01.bis.na.blackberry.com

216.9.248.49 smtp02.bis.na.blackberry.com

216.9.248.50 smtp03.bis.na.blackberry.com

216.9.248.51 smtp04.bis.na.blackberry.com

216.9.248.52 smtp05.bis.na.blackberry.com

216.9.253.48 smtp01.bis.eu.blackberry.com

216.9.253.49 smtp02.bis.eu.blackberry.com

216.9.253.50 smtp03.bis.eu.blackberry.com

It would be intiguing to see what the listing history of those might be, given that ITPro says 216.9.253.49 was listed.

I looked it up earlier, but there was no history... either it was all spamtrap traffic or someone at spamcop wiped the evidence. Below are the reports for those IP's in the last 30 days.

Blackberry.net got on the SpamCop BL so Blackberry retaliate by blocking mail from SpamCop mail accounts?

As seen on the news page http://mail.spamcop.net/news.php

Apr 25, 2008

[11:47 EDT] We now have a workaround in place for blackberry.net. All old mail has been delivered and new mail is being delivered without any delay.

[10:19 EDT] We are having an ongoing problem delivering mail to Blackberry devices on blackberry.net. At the present time, blackberry.net is not accepting any email from us. We are attempting to contact them and are also working on a work-around until they start accepting email from us again.

Thanks to Farelf and Steven for the reports and to all those technically more accomplished than I for your responses. The spamming servers aren't open relays. Stretching my technical abilities to their limit, I discovered that they all rightly refuse a telnet port 25 connection, without offering password challenge; presumably this means the servers "know" their BlackBerries by IP.

So does this raise the possibility of compromised BlackBerries, or are the spammers manually running spamming tools on them? Or more boringly just on a machine somewhere succesfully pretending to be a BlackBerry, or a compromised machine inside RIM, or ...OK, we'll never know.
