Nick and PSN'ers, I saw in my mail server's log file that some email messages from you were rejected. I use several real-time spam blocking services to block spam from getting to any account on my server. It appears that the server you used is on the blocking list. Here's the log info: ---- SMTPRA log entry made at 04/11/2001 08:37:34 SMTP command failed when talking to 207.69.200.148: >>> MAIL From:SIZE=598 <<< 550 5.7.1 This system is configured to reject mail from 207.69.200.148 (Host blacklisted - see http://maps.vix.com/rbl/) The ip address above comes back to blount.mail.mindspring.net. I believe Mindspring bought out Netcom. Since you have an account on Yahoo you will need to use it to send messages to me and the list until they are removed from the blocking list. I would complain to your ISP about it since more and more servers are using the blocking services. Lately mindspring.net has been a large source of spam so I'm glad they were placed on the blocking list. I need to use the blocking lists because without them I get over 20 spam emails each day. I still get 5 to 6 each day since spammers keep using new systems that aren't on the blocking list. I must be on every spammers mailing list. This happened because I posted a few messages to newsgroups with my correct email address when I first got on the Internet. My only other option is to change my email address. For more information about spam blocking see www.orbs.org and http://maps.vix.com/rbl/. -Larry Cochrane Redwood City, PSN ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicholas A Caporossi" To: "Larry Cochrane" Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 12:52 PM Subject: Email failed > Hi Larry: > Your Email ID: Cochrane@.............. is not working > for me.
