I have recently installed MailScanner. One of my rbls is spamcop.net(bl.spamcop.net). My problem discovered when testing the conf: mailscanner runs my outgoing email throught the rbls and trips on spamcop.net saying my domain is listed.

Here is sample from my maillog file:

Sep 1 23:54:40 supstation MailScanner[19428]: RBL checks: h823sdRE019500 found in spamcop.net
Sep 1 23:54:40 supstation MailScanner[19428]: Message h823sdRE019500 from 207.217.121.50 (xxxx@domain.net) to domain.net is spam, spamcop.net

NOTE: The ip 207.217.121.50 from my maillog file is not my IP!!!! What the hell? I am currently checking this ip out.

I then proceeded to check/test my domain name and IP with spamcop.net and ordb.org. They both came back fine, my domain name and ip are not known open relays and are secure.

Can anyone explain this? What gives?

Thanks, in advance.

I figured it out. I was testing with an email account i have through earthlink, which then gets forwarded to my mail server and the earthlink server was the one blocked not my domian.

I feel pretty stupid, but now I know.
