No, that's not it. It's not that email sent is bouncing. It is that it
is bouncing with an explanation that accuses the sending SMTP (hamakor
server, in this case) of being a host for spam, yet provides no proof of
actual spamming ever taking place. Further more, if you follow the
resources linked from the very page you are directed to, you get to a
bunch of sites maintaining lists. Hamakor server's only appearance on
the list is as a positive feedback (i.e. - was checked and found good).
The actual page linked to does offer to take the server off the list,
but using a scare tactic - you give your email address and name and
promise the problem has been taken care of, while there is no listed
problem to take care of.
Worse, in "how to stay clean", they offer two suggestions. Clean your
computer from viruses (need I mention that Hamakor server is running
Linux?) and change the reverse lookup of the server to something
containing "mail" or "smtp". The audacity of an administrator to think
they can dictate to other server operators what to call their servers
seems, to me, beyond words. How dare they try and tell me what to call
my server, on pain of not receiving emails sent? It breaks every level
of trust out there.
What is worse, they are actually shifting the blame to make it sound as
if it is our server that did something wrong. Shlomi, who I think no one
can accuse of being SMTP illiterate, still approached me first asking me
to fix the problem (which I have no way of doing).
Just venting off steam here.
