Search Again: ORBS blacklist From: Rick Osgood Date: Tuesday, June 6, 2000 Time: 11:56:26 am The Internet vigilantes at Orbs.com have blacklisted our mail server as an "Open Relay". It is NOT, we have Relay Restrictions set ON, with only our own domains allowed in EIMS. However, they have apparently detected -something- that I'm not aware of. Can someone here give me a clue as to how to change the server settings to get off their list? It is apparently something in our DNS setup that they object to. The mail server that they have blacklisted is mail.dartboard.com, at 206.180.155.50. ORBS, BTW, is run by a completely anonymous group of individuals, who do not return emails, do not list any contact address or phone number, and admit on their own home page that their database and hardware are unreliable & crash often. Yet this amateur vigilante group has the power to practically shut down a business by blacklisting their IP#s. Why does -anyone- ever use their database, without even knowing who they are, or what security measures, if any, they use to protect their database? Incredible...
