April 15th, 2005Spam is bad, spam cops are obnoxious
April 14th, 2005If you were expecting an email from me, or if you tried to subscribe to the fglrx mailing list and didn’t get a confirmation request, here’s the most likely reason:
SMTP protocol diagnostic: 553 5.3.0 Error:554 – Mail from 212.216.176.141 refused – See http://dnsbl.sorbs.net
212.216.176.141 is one of the SMTP servers of my ISP, Tin.it, which is most definitely not spammer-friendly. It’s been listed for a while — I don’t know if Tin.it adminstrators are unaware of this issue or if the folks at SORBS are not removing it for whatever reason, but unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do.
