[wellylug] [OT] Ihug Blacklisted?

[Michael Dittmer (An Inside Job)]

Hi Jethro

Looks like the sender was using a dialup connection to send e-mail directly
to the receiver. This is a big NO NO.

I block all dynamic addresses because of spam from them and so do most of my
clients and also other businesses I have spoken to. People on dynamically
assigned IP's (including it seems static paradise cable IP's) need to
smarthost their outbound e-mail through their ISP's mail server.

Regards

Michael

hi all,

I always bcc mail to myself, and today, all my email sent to myself have
been tagged as 'spam' by spam assassin!

As you can see, my spam assassin setup is quite aggressive (3.0), but it's
never been a problem before.

Here's the content analysis:

-1.4 AWL                    AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list
-------------------------

The IP mentioned belongs to ihug. Is anyone else on ihug having this
problem? If so, is ihug aware of it?

My emails only pass through ihug - they do not actually use the ihug email
server.

cheers,
