One of the computers that a colleague uses has an IP in dsbl.org. The IP is 200.79.150.31, and it has been in dsbl for presumably over 1 year. http://dsbl.org/listing?200.79.150.31 I assume that this is a dynamically allocated IP, and that it is in the list because another computer at that IP was a source of spam. I note that (a) only the postmaster responsible for this IP can initiate removal of the IP. Telnor is a monopoly, their service is (much) worse than US ISPs (hard to imagine) and I doubt that they will initiate removal of an IP, but I could try. I note also that senderbase doesn't seem to pick up the listing at dsbl.org http://www.senderbase.org/search?searchString=200.79.150.31 Perhaps senderbase has a reason for ignoring this list. However, spamcop has dsbl near the top of the list of additional filtering lists (see options under Horde). So I guess my questions are * any advice on how to get this IP out of dsbl * do people really filter email using dsbl * is dsbl considered reliable Thanks A
