Journal FortKnox's Journal: Marotti.com, guilty until proven innocent 10
My server is getting the ass end of a spam cleanup. If you try to email me, roadrunner sees it comes from marotti.com and bounces it. I tried contacting roadrunner. I got ignored.
Anything like this happen to anyone else? I don't have ftp, nor telnet open, and relaying off. There is no way my server is being used by a spammer (but probably someone around my ip did, and I'm gettin screwed cause of it).
Any ideas on what to do?

If you can't get anything through the tech line, call management. If you can't get anything there, call legal. You are paying for a service, and they are denying it.

What type of blocking? (Score:2)
Have you got residential or business service from RoadRunner? If residential, do they allow you to run servers? When I used RoadRunner, the user agreement prohibitted servers of any sort. If this is the case for you, it would explain why they are blocking your mail-serv

Of course the school's blocking policy was more sophistocated than what RR seems to be doing to you.
The error message (Score:2)
Here's the error message I get when I try to send you mail:
So it's not based on FK's e-mail address, or port blocking as others have suggested. The explanation at that URL also rules out a DNSBL. It says that RR themselves have either found a security issue with the machine at that IP (open relay/proxy is given as an example) or are experiencing an ongoing attack from that machine.
My guess is still
