[clug-talk] Mail, Shaw, and RBL

[Shawn]

Hi all.

My IP addresses got tagged by the SPEWS RBL, through no fault of my own.  
(they blindly blocked the entire class C subnet, when it's a range that's not 
managed by that mask - my mask is 255.255.252.0).  Someone at the .100 
address caused this...  btw, I'm on a Shaw SOHO connection...

Anyways, I've been dealing with this issue for a few months and having a few 
contacts bounce my messages.  I finally found a fix for it.  The short answer 
was to use Shaw's mail server to relay my outgoing messages.  I didn't want 
to have to do this via my email clients, as I'd rather have send and receive 
be the same server.  So instead, I did this through the Kolab interface.

(I was due to make another post, and this topic is as good as any other.. :) )
