We reported the issue to the operators of that email server, and worked with them to ensure that the server was removed from the list. By 09:00hrs on Friday (06 January) it was confirmed that the server had been removed from the blacklist, and that normal service had resumed. Unfortunately, later that day, the server was re-added to the blacklist, causing recipient servers to start rejecting messages once more. Due to the way in which the software underpinning the JiscMail service works, after several bounced or rejected messages to an individual email address, the software assumes that the address no longer exists and removes it from any subscribed groups. This had the effect of removing around 50,000 subscriptions to just short of 500 JiscMail lists. We are pleased to inform you that, as of 14:00hrs on Wednesday, 11 January 2023, we believe the root cause of the issue (the blacklisting) to have been resolved, and are in the process of resubscribing all affected users. We expect this to be completed by no later than 17:00hrs on Wednesday, 11 January 2023. Despite these issues having been addressed, subscribers and list owners may continue to recieve error messages that have been "queued" by mail servers outside of our direct control. These are expected to have fully cleared by Friday, 13 January 2023. ---------------------------------------------------------------end Note it contains a link back to the jisc website so you can validate it’s a correct message Regards Gary ------------------------------------------- Dr Gary S Thompson NMR Facility Manager Wellcome Trust Biomolecular NMR Facility School of Biosciences, University of Kent, Canterbury, Kent, England, CT2 7NZ tel: 01227 82 7117 e-mail: g.s.thomp...@kent.ac.uk<mailto:g.s.thomp...@kent.ac.uk> orchid: orcid.org/0000-0001-9399-7636<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/orcid.org/0000-0001-9399-7636__;!!JFdNOqOXpB6UZW0!5pL_seJsFx0GRaDgwaLL0h3tmVktbehHKv07ZEZEcqZMKbC_s464UgFam-zmCFabTW0x$> ------------------------------------------- From: CCP4 bulletin board <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> on behalf of Rafael Marques <rafael_mmsi...@hotmail.com> Date: Thursday, 12 January 2023 at 09:36 To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Subject: [ccp4bb] RES: [ccp4bb] Is this Spam?

This looks like Spam. Me too. My uni says that a Microsoft set of addresses ended up on a spam blacklist, which is why this happened. I suspect your institutions are also using office365 outlook (also known as crapmail) as mail server and client As roberto, I complain all the time to my uni about their mail and it. Probably as roberto, it has no effect whatsoever. Adrian Sent from my iPhone On 11 Jan 2023, at 23:13, Becker, Stefan <s...@mpinat.mpg.de> wrote: I also received this kind of message.
