Re: [SURBL-Discuss] Notification of Blacklist Status

Maybe instead of having an attitude, you should understand that you're exposing your organization to a lot of liability by not fixing your problem, if in fact you haven't fixed it yet. If you haven't fixed it yet, you need to stop whining on this mailing list, and go fix it ASAP. If you're avoiding the questions posed to you earlier in this thread, I imagine that you *haven't* fixed anything yet. Break-ins happen. But if you don't fix the damage, you could be opening yourself up for civil damages or criminal charges (I'm not a lawyer, and I am not familiar with Canadian law; I'm assuming things up there work in a similar manner to the way they work in the US). This is *not* a threat. I have no intention of pursuing legal action against you. I'm just stating the cold, hard facts. -- Steve Sobol, Victorville, CA sjsobol(a)JustThe.net

Notification of Blacklist Status
by Petros Kolyvas 04 Jul '09

Dear All, I was notified today via an error message from a mail server that a domain/URL in the e-mail was on a blacklist somewhere. I took the time to check and sure enough our own domain is on that list with the note PH. The problem is that our domain is hosted on a shared web host from what I believe to be a fairly reputable web host here in Montreal (iWeb.com.) We have no ability to control or monitor the servers at a level that would allow us to work on, modify, patch, or make any low- level changes that requested in the "Removal Request." More importantly is why a domain isn't notified upon being blacklisted? (Via the info@... or abuse@.... mailboxes) I can understand the need for immediately blacklisting troublesome domains; with that I have no qualms. However it seems that, in the hope of weeding out false positives like our own, at least a note that the domain is being added to the blacklist would help in some kind of active response - instead of the reactive one where we start receiving cryptic messages from clients' servers indicating something is amiss. That being said, thanks for all your hard work to keep this giant and messy infrastructure as clean as humanly possible.
