So you're both wrong: SORBS, since it has a web site, should support the "webmaster" address; and you shouldn't send traffic there unless your enquiry is about the web site (e.g., difficulty accessing it, broken links, malformed pages). ---rsk
Ok I'll accept that reference..I must admit I didn't know that RFC/STD existed so I learnt something today. ;-) I would like to point out though that in section 1 it states 'are encouraged to support' not must or even should, a quick skim read later and I see there are mention of those that are required to be supported later in the document, Webmaster@ is not in the required list. As per my previous email, the webservers (all of them) report another email address which is more appropriate for our organisation, and will feed all mail to a real person or into a ticket system in a queue for bugs and errors with the SORBS service as appropriate (this does not include any reports about content of the DNSbl, there are other addresses published for that.)
