Or, you type in the 'server IP', which has nothing to do with rfc-ignorant tests (check the domain, not the ip) Since these listings are manual listings, they are verified AT THE TIME OF THE LISTING, but to keep down 'attacks' on domain servers, they are not doublechecked. (every once and a while they send in a 'your listed in blacklist, click here to remove' test. If they domain in question DOES have a valid postmaster and abuse account, tell the owner of that domain to send documentation to rfc-ignorant and they will remove it after sending in a confirmation email. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO 561-999-5000, ext 1131 SECNAP Network Security Corporation Keep up to date with latest information on IT security: Real time security alerts: http://www.secnap.com/news
