I agree with Russ, Ingrid. Listserv uses the same IP addresses day in and
day out, though there are different addresses for different functions like
admin, etc.
Remember the old adage: "If you can't impress them with your brilliance,
then baffle them with bullshit!"
Their filter needs to be set to let the Listserv IP addresses through,
that's all. The admin team at ICORS posted this IP address content, below,
when St.John's Maelstrom closed and ICORS took on their functions, and then
some. Perhaps this will be helpful. Confirmation from someone at your server
controls might be advisable. ICORS runs off L-Soft servers. We are all very
grateful for that gift. Best, Rich (DISSOC listowner at ICORS)
Our customers (and their subscribers) who find themselves being blocked
from receiving list traffic and/or administrative email from our servers,
should immediately contact their own Internet Service Provider (ISP)
and/or mail provider, and request that the ISP and/or mail provider
*whitelist* L-Soft's servers to ensure the delivery of wanted email.
At a minimum, the following IP addresses should be whitelisted:
209.119.0.5 [gazelle.ease.lsoft.com] outbound list traffic
209.119.0.21 [wildebeest.ease.lsoft.com] outbound list traffic
209.119.0.43 [lime.ease.lsoft.com] outbound administrative traffic

Subject: Re: [LSTOWN-L] spam filter issue
I have no idea whether Listserv changes its IP address, though it
sounds nuts to me: but we had McAfee here for some years and never had
the slightest trouble. If this is a school address, it's the network
administrator's responsibility to maintain the staff's access to
listservs. I recently had this problem with another spam filter at a
university ISP, regarding a list for university teachers I administer,
and the staff there was told something similar, until they raised hell
about it.
Go over the network administrator's head: she's not doing her job.
