Hey guys,

  So, we have a mail cluster that receives a total of half a million smtp
hits a day (According to qmail-mrtg).  It has several IP Addresses, .163 -
.169 on our subnet.  Each address has a domain mapped to it using the vipmap
tool.  So that customers on that domain don't HAVE to put their domain after
their username.  Anyways,  the odd thing is, that SpamCop reports that our
165 address is blacklisted.  This is odd, because, no mail leaves the server
on this address (as far as I know)  I ran a test, creating an account on the
domain that is assigned to the .165 address, and sending myself an email
from this account from both our webmail, as well as from outlook express,
with the .165 address as the outgoing smtp server.  And no beans, no mention
anywhere in the headers of the .165 address.

  So I guess my question is two fold.

  1) Does qmail ever specificaly request an ip address to send outgoing mail
on.

  2) Anyone else had experience with SpamCop erroniously black listing them.

  At this point I am not very worried, because if I am right, and qmail
never sends any mail out on the .165 address, then it being blacklisted
won't hurt anything.

  Joey
