Contacting them may not do a bit of good. They will ask you to pay (up front) for them to even consider taking you off their list. I don't think that with this guy's track record, that anyone really uses his service as a reason to block mail. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Wall [mailto:Chris.Wall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 11:40 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: can't send to yahoo.com http://www.MSExchange.org/ Luke, FYI - www.rbls.org lists both of your SMTP servers as being blacklisted by www.block.blars.org You may want to contact them and find out why...

Luke, if you're familiar with SMTP commands, I suggest you make the telnet session again, but try to manually run through a complete session, for example: 220 YSmtp mta399.mail.scd.yahoo.com ESMTP service ready helo smginc.com (Their response codes may not match mine exactly, but it should say OK) mail from:<myaddress@xxxxxxxxxx> 250 Ok rcpt to:<yahooaddress@xxxxxxxxx> 250 Ok Data 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> Subject: test message Hi . Send the transcript of this session to the list if you can.

If so, are both of those servers referencing the same DNS Server (if no SMTP Gateway) or are they both forwarding mail to the same SMTP Gateway server? I would suspect that the Philly office has different routing preferences and it sends mail using a different Internet Mail Connector and probably uses a different DNS server. Still either could be your issue. If you are listed as an open relay as Greg suggested, you may want to attempt to telnet to yahoo on port 25 from each locations SMTP Gateway. Your Philly gateway will probably have no issues connecting. Your local Gateway will most likely error out if it is being blacklisted.... The weird thing here is that your local gateway server is sending you the 'delayed' notifications. In my experience, most blacklisted domains will not get a 'delayed' message, but rather a return from the recipient domain stating that your mail was rejected.... For this reason, it seems that you are unable to even establish connection from your local domain to the recipient domain.

I don't know if Yahoo rejects based on that, but I wouldn't be surprised, given the volume of UCE they must process.
