You're relaying though an MSA (fiat.ischool.utexas.edu
[128.83.248.27])
that isn't on a cable connection, though, right?
That's true when I send to an apache.org list, because at some point
it blocked me. By and large I send direct-to-MX from cable-modem,
adding exceptions to my mailertable entry as necessary (Nor will yours
when I reply to this, so we'll see what happens).
Blocking because someone uses a cable modem, but isn't delivering
direct-to-MX from that cable connection, is asinine.
True, but I don't think that's what Marc is doing, since his server
doesn't have a mailtertable entry on my end.
I definitely want to figure out what the problem is. Any false
positive isn't acceptable. However that IP isn't blocked. If you can
post the error you got I'd like to see it.
Here's the "failed for the last 4 hours" message...

ok - that's a different IP and that IP is blocked on my list and 4 other
lists. Based on your logs it doesn't look like it give up after a 550
error. I think you have a spam problem.
