ezmlm warning

[Chris <cp...@earthlink.net>]

Found this in my inbox this evening, is this just a burp on earthlink's end?


Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
users@spamassassin.apache.org mailing list.


Messages to you from the users mailing list seem to
have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce
message I received.

If this message bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe bounces,
I will remove your address from the users mailing list,
without further notice.


I've kept a list of which messages from the users mailing list have 
bounced from your address.

Copies of these messages may be in the archive.
To retrieve a set of messages 123-145 (a maximum of 100 per request),
send a short message to:
   <us...@spamassassin.apache.org>

To receive a subject and author list for the last 100 or so messages,
send a short message to:
   <us...@spamassassin.apache.org>

Here are the message numbers:

   55952

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at apache.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

I'd certainly call up earthlink. Who knows what other mail they're bouncing.

Chris -

I strongly suspect that Earthlink has begun to do some strange anti-spam
stuff - and don't quite have the bugs worked out.  We got this this morning,
for the first time ever:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mx1.earthlink.net.:
>>> MAIL From:<la...@denmantire.com> SIZE=6052
<<< 550 550 Dynamic/zombied/spam IPs blocked. Write
blockedbyearthlink@abuse.earthlink.net
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

and we're on a T1, with rDNS for everything, and not on any of the dnsbl
lists.  They delisted us within a few hours.  Better give them a call...

Dirtlink has been doing this randomly for a month or more now.  I've had 
bunches of complaints that people can't send me mail because of 'due to 
extended inactivity".

I tried sending the dirtlink admin account some earthlink phish the other 
week so they could shut down the sites, and had it bounced back because the 
admin account "due to extended inactivity".
