Mindspring/earthkink isn't accepting email from at least 2 Postfix configs on Linux. It's worked well in the past, but quit working a few days ago.
The log says their server timed out waiting for data after responding to HELO. Traceroute shows a routing loop at their network. I tried from a friends place, and it went through. He uses Qmail on a BSD. When he tried by hand with telnet. He got all the way through, and the server accepted the mail for delivery, then said it'd timed out. I wrote an expect script expecting 250s in the right places. but I never seemed to get them. It seems to me that mindspring/earhlink's server is bent. But I'm asking the list to see if anyone else has had this problem, and maybe even what they did to fix it. OT: I'm getting a lot of blackHats hitting in my DNS from cloud9. Which are the Postfix related cloud9 IPs to whitelist before blocking the net? -- Glenn English
