RE: shaw static IP DOCSIS and RBL's

An easy way is to check a site like http://dnsstuff.com to see if your
IP is listed on any abuse sites. I had to remove my Shaw line from a
couple -- srry I can't remember which. I remember thinking it looked
like Shaw had assigned static IPs from a subnet that was DHCP which is
why it shows on some RBLs. If you're going to allow smtp-relay then you
should still setup an alternate port (like 587 tcp).

What do you mean that you had Shaw setup a reverse DNS?

Subject: shaw static IP DOCSIS and RBL's

Well, last time I was at a meeting there was talk about how shaw had
changed their policy towards traffic on port 25 smtp. At the time I was
encouraged by shaw to drop everything and book it over to hanselman and
pick up a docsis modem and then I could send emails to the world out
port 25. I am just getting things rolling here now, I move slow
sometimes. I just finished filling out a form of www.spamhaus.org to
remove my single IP address from their PBL.

Has anyone else out there setup an outgoing email server using the shaw
static IP addresses since the "blocking port 25" change and found any
other RBLs that should be notified. Please note that I have had shaw
setup a reverse dns record for my static IP.

Thanks.
