Although it is not of any use in this particular case (as Jay correctly allows
anyone to contact postmaster), other sites may care to use this:
[ This is going to several mailing lists, none of which appear in the
To: line so that we don't get any cross-posted discussion of this. -russ ]
I've written a program to test an SMTP server's RBL block. To
exercise this program, send mail to nelson@??? from the
server whose RBL block you are testing. The robot that receives that
email will attempt to send a piece of test email to the postmaster.
It connects from linux.crynwr.com (192.203.178.39), which the MAPS
folks have kindly added to the RBL. If your RBL block didn't work,
postmaster get a message to that effect. Regardless of whether the
RBL block succeeds or not it emails you the results of the SMTP
conversation (from ns.crynwr.com, which is not on the RBl), so you can
see how your server looks from the view of someone on the RBL.
This is for use by anyone who wants to test their RBL block. Feel
free to advertise it.
