Jeroen, A quick check of those IPs shows that most don't have rDNS records. Make sure the A and PTR records for the mail server match the hostname it is using in the outbound SMTP session. Hope that helps, Adam Stasiniewicz ________________________________ From: owner-nanog () merit edu on behalf of Jeroen Wunnink Sent: Wed 4/25/2007 1:22 PM To: nanog () merit edu Subject: Hotmail blackholing certain IP ranges ? Does anyone have a clue why hotmail is appearantly blocking certain IP ranges ? I provided a new server for a customer in his own IP subnet which is a part of a /20 we announce, but for some reason all mail sent to @hotmail.com addresses disappears. He has another server in a /24 we announce which is still part of another network and that works like a charm. None of our subnets are blacklisted in any spamfilter I can find, so i'm a bit puzzeled on what's up here. If any hotmail netadmin is reading this list, can you please check if 81.26.212.0/26 is blocked in any way (It's part of 81.26.208.0/20 originating from AS39556) According to the mailserver logs all the mail is properly accepted by the hotmail relays, never to be seen again after that.
