Here's an interesting "bounce" message from LISTSERV ...
+++
| 1 10/09 10/09 User Name <[log in to unmask]>
| Last error: 553 <[log in to unmask]>... Mail from 142.104.5.230
| refused; see http://www.dorkslayers.com/orbs/
+++
Note that the VM/CMS server which hosts the list I own is '142.104.5.230'.
Evidently, 'DorkSlayers' tests for "open" SMTP-servers,
such as are found in the current TCP/IP software for VM/CMS,
and publishes that information is some sort of "black-list",
and then refuses to accept all E-mail originating from such a host.
It makes sense, if you're an ISP trying to stop spam, and that's more important
than your customer's desire to access a mailing-list served by that host.
It doesn't bother me to be "blocked" by one ISP; however, if some person tries
to subscribe to a LISTSERV-controlled mailing-list which you own, you may get
a similar "bounce" message. Such a person will have to switch ISPs,
to find one which does not use the 'DorkSlayers' system.
P.S. DorkSlayers seem to be geographically "near" to me,
but their telephone-numbers are totally bogus ...
