Wash,

A bunch of us on NANOG had the same issues with MSN a while ago. Search
the NANOG mailing list archives for "Blocked by msn.com MX, contact for
MSN.COM postmaster ?"

If you'd like a novel of information and notes from the NANOG off-list
discussions, drop me a line.

| Hello all,

|
| This is a bit OT.

|
|
| My problem is that I haven't been able to deliver mail to msn.com
| directly. My only salvation is Philip (thanks Philip), the way he
| designed Exim. smtp-gw-4.msn.com, which is the only MX I can see
| from my end (why?) seems not to accept any connection from my
| netblock 62.8.64.0/19 (Hmm, I hear someone saying I shouldn't reveal
| that, but why?). Since I have another /25 block, I have used a special
| purpose router/transport to handle this MSN problem. The salvation
| is from setting interface = 1.2.3.4, borrowed from the /25 block.

|
| Anyway, the big question I would like to ask is: Where do I look for
| clues about this msn problem? I have looked at ordb, orbz and the
| likes but I cannot find 62.8.64.0/19 being listed anywhere. This is
| just my suspicion. I am not exactly sure why msn.com doesn't like
| this block. Mail to {postmaster|abuse}@??? will never get
| answered,
| don't you think so? I have tried that severally.

|
| I know there are experts on this within this list, like Suresh.
| I'll highly appreciate any clues/pointers.

|
| Thank you.
