Sorry this is a little off-topic but I couldn't figure out where else to
go.
At the end of last week I started noticing X-RBL-Warning headers being
added to mail going through one of our mail servers:
X-RBL-Warning: (relays.orbs.org) Open relay - see http://www.orbs.org/verify.php3?address=137.195.52.200
I've got relays.orbs.org/warn as one of the rbl_domains values. This
was surprising since 137.195.52.200 *isn't* an open relay as far as I
know, and indeed it passes all the tests that mail-abuse.org tries on
it.
My problem is that
www.orbs.org has been unreachable from here for at
least 5 days (see below for traceroute): does anyone know if there is
a problem there? Or can you suggest how else I can get taken off the
orbs blacklist?
