A couple of them used our primary mail server as a smarthost, so ORBS listed it as well. In each case, ORBS failed to notify us of the listing at all. We only found out when our customers had mail blocked at servers using ORBS.I got notified when ORBS found one of the servers under my care to be open. Ah. Here's the copy of the notification that I got. They send to postmaster@Second.Level.Domain and postmaster () Hostname Of The Mail.Server. That.Is.Found.To.Be.Open[0]. Question is, is someone answering postmaster () Your Customers Domains And Your Own.Domains?
I have postmaster () hiwaay net delivered to my mailbox (after procmailing out the regular automated stuff). We also have several people that check the abuse () hiwaay net mailbox several times a day. Last time I even checked our mail log for anything that might have been misdirected or filtered out. No notification at all, multiple times now. -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Information Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
