I'm writing this not sure of your relationship to mswmx1.hosting.pipex.net (212.67.202.126). I will assume, for the purposes of this message, that you are the administrator of this server. You should have found and solved the problem before requesting removal, as you were warned to by the removal system. The IP has just been relisted because you're still running an open relay. As described on the listing page, you have a user 'admin' with an easy-to-guess password and have SMTP AUTH enabled, leading to an open relay. Spammers have been using this relay method for some years now. If 'admin' can do anything more than SMTP AUTH (i.e. access the system by some other method), your server was likely compromised by now as well; crackers are, in most cases, the only people faster than spammers at finding such weaknesses. Your best course of action is likely to reinstall the whole system from scratch, and implement strong password requirements and checking in the future. You'll be able to request removal again in 7 days from the DSBL website; this will give you plenty of time to find and fix the problem. Please make sure to read the full removal page before clicking "I verify the above are true" next time. -- Ian Gulliver Penguin Hosting "Failure is not an option; it comes bundled with your Microsoft products."
