I also got such a message: /-- ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (reason: 554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [192.114.47.35] blocked using rbl.eonspace.net; ;z; Dynam... blocked due to zombie infestation. See http://rbl.eonspace.net/?rblip=192.114.44.226/21 for details) \--
192.114.47.35 is one of our mailers. Somebody blocked a whole range of "8 class-Cs" because of one zombie mail from a client of us. Anyone doing such blocking in a large scale will loss much of his mail connectivity, and I guess it may not be a good idea to have mail service at an ISP with such a blocking policy. http://rbl.eonspace.net/?rblip=192.114.44.226/21 (and even http://rbl.eonspace.net or http://eonspace.net/) gives me a page with only this sentence: Put your new web site here So I cannot see any more details on who blocked it and how to unblock.
