[pchelpers] SMTP server blocked

Hi folks,

Early on the 13th, I suddenly started getting my messages bounced back
to me by Freelists, with an error message about being blocked. After
some back-and-forth, my host said that Freelists was deliberately
blocking me, and John Madden of Freelists said that there was a
problem with reverse DNS on my end. My host confirmed it and had it
fixed within minutes. It takes several days to propogate to all of the
DNS servers, so I waited. A couple of days ago, when it still wasn't
working, I did some more back-and-forth with my host and John, and
John got into touch with John Madden again, who asked me what the
problem was. I told him, last night, and he replied simply "Block
lifed". So, I've been waiting a week and pestering my host to
double-check (and starting to annoy him, I think), and pestering John
to double-check, all because we didn't know that the block had to be
manually removed. :(

--Scott.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
