What does 'blocked through Spamcop due to > [sorbs]' mean? It gets held in my incoming held email at Spamcop and the reason is given as: X-SpamCop-Disposition: Blocked dnsbl.sorbs.net > If we want to talk about a mail being blocked which you see, then that > means that the sender of the mail would see some kind of nondelivery > error, which optimally would show the IP being blocked, so that we don't > have to guess at it. Not happening. > Therein you see the 'problem' of needing to know what IP address you are > talking about in order to find out what its condition is. OK. I see that now. So I pulled up the original email. Its first "Received:" was 208.24.123.10. That IP I can find at www.MXToolbox.com as being on a number of blocking lists with Return Codes of 127.0.0.7 and 127.0.0.10. But www.MXToolbox.com doesn't tell me what the 127 Return Codes mean. So I went to www.dnsbl.us.sorbs.net and found that 127.0.0.7 means 208.24.123.10 is in the web.dnsbl.sorbs.net database and 127.0.0.10 means it's in the dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net database and, frankly, I still don't know any more than I did. But I guess I'm getting closer. Thanks, Paul -- [email protected] http://www.CustomSUPPORT.com
