Wanadoo and SORBS

Anyone having problems sending mail from Wanadoo accounts?
Mine has been very eratic over the past day or so, mail is either
bounced or goes into black hole. Two of the three wanadoo uk mail
servers are listed at SORBS, could this be the reason?

Part of the reason. You do realize that Wanafoo has, on many occasions,
refused to do anything about their users who have hacked pcs (zombied)
used by many a spamer to spread more virus and spam to the internet
public? The two listed ip's are known "sources" of 419 Nigerian Scam
emails.

Here is their response,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your email.

It appears that your email has been blocked by an anti-spam blacklist.

Wanadoo is in contact with several well-recognised blacklisting
organisations, such as www.spamcop.net and www.spamhaus.org, helping
us
to make sure that their subscribers do not block our mail servers.
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do if an organisation chooses to
subscribe to this blacklist.

We are continually striving to improve this situation wherever
possible
and apologise for any inconvenience.

If you have any further queries then please do not hesitate to get in
contact with us again.

Kind Regards
Wanadoo Technical Support

you can simply state:

so why did you get on the list in THE FIRST place?

switch to a more reputable provider
or
have the person you are sending email to to whitelist your address.

That's not a choice. Sorbs lists thousands of non-spamming IP addresses.
They then ask the ISP (sort of blackmailing) to cough up X amount of dollars
per each listed IP, to be sent to a so-called charity. Otherwise the IPs
stay listed.

Wanadoo has obviously declined to accept the blackmail.

> switch to a more reputable provider

You are clearly a sorbs/spews fan!
