dabitch: [More:]I tried sending you this link yesterday but I ended up getting a Mailer Daemon Error in response (on both your ids). It says that my Email server is blacklisted for some reason...? Hm, do you think I'm wanted--maybe even on the terrorist watchlist???:)

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the ad. It was playing over here a year or so ago and then they pulled it when Hutch got bought out by Vodafone. And since the Vodafone people didn't want their product being associated with the Hutch mascot, the little pug had to go unfortunately. You won't believe how many hearts were broken because of that. But, cooler heads finally prevailed and they found an ingenious way to bring the pug back. Saw the new ad just yesterday. The one that I've linked to is the old Hutch one, of course, and as soon as the new Vodafone one is available online I'll send you a link!
Oh god, that's so cute.

As for blacklists, I use spamhaus.org, ordb.org, dsbl.org, spamcop.net, china, korea, hong kong, taiwan, argentina and brazil blackholes.us, dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net, and my own personal reject anything from IP #'s and/or emails that have previously spammed me list so the message you got should tell you which list you're on and how you get off it.

I still get 40-50 spams a day and that is with using a greylist as well. I don't want to accept spam to my server and then throw it away (like most people do) since it is a waste of resources. I had so much spam from Korea at once point (years ago) that it brought my server to its knees several times a day. (and I pay for that bandwidth and space etc.) So I even sent emails to the Koran embassy basically billing them. Nothing came out of that but I was planning on getting a journalist to go with me as I handed over a bill to the Korean embassy for spending my resources, which could have been interesting.

Spam is my biggest pet peeve. Before it was a big deal, I was one of the "evil ad people" calling for worldwide regulation pronto before it became a problem but nobody was listening back in 1996. Now it's too late and entire countries are banned from emailing my server.

Hmm. Looks like ordb.org is dead I better go through the RBL*s that I'm using.

Oh, hey--I should've mentioned that the Email said that my server is a blacklisted Spam Source at http://korea.services.net

Hope that helps.

I can't stop using that blacklist (server will die - seriously), but you can get your IP# off that blacklist if it is innocent. Seems odd that you're on a Korea blacklist though, put your originating IP# in the little box on this page and you'll get instructions on how to be removed.
