Hello all. Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving and will have a wonderful Christmas.

The problem we've been having today is suddenly our outgoing mail is being rejected.

The error message we get is from www.spamhaus.org Hopefully some of you are familiar with the site. It's a spam guarding site that supposedly protects email reciepiants from spam, etc.

The problem is of course...we are not spammers and don't send out bulk emails in anyway what so ever. I went to the website but they list NO phone number and no way to contact them. Supposedly our IP adddress is not listed on their site either...I don't know if typing it in was a smart idea but I wasn't sure what to do at all...and we need to be able to send out emails.

If any of you had experience in dealing with this nonsense, please let me know. Thank you very much.

You need to contact your ISP and see where the e-mails are being blocked from.

There is a good chance that your computer has been infected and is being used as a zombie system to distribute SPAM... If so, there is probably other garbage there as well... It would be a good idea to post a HijackThis log to check it out...

To run HJT, extract it to a permanent folder such as one
you create like C:\HJT. Close all open windows and
browsers and make sure that all programs are enabled if
you use msconfig. Run it and Scan, then Save the log.
When the log window appears, Right click to Copy it, open
your browser and come here to Paste the entire log. Do
not make any changes until it is checked since most items
are either benign or essential to the computer.

Thanks again for the advice. Hopefully the problem and solution lies here.

Unless you are running a mail server on your windows XP machine you are waisting your time. You did not mention what mail server you are using or if someone is hosting your mail server. when you went to spamhaus what IP address did you search on? was it your mail servers MX record address? try going to ordb.org and search on your e-mail domain name or mail.yourdomain.com or smtp.yourdomain.com then have it check third party RBLs to see if you are listed there. if you are, you need to find the reason why the "MAIL SERVER" is blacklisted fix the problem and submit for rescan to verify you corrected the issue and they will remove you from the list.

vega55 · 08-10-2006, 01:15 AM

Okay. At first I did a search using the Router IP because I was under the impression that the router IP was the one used. However, a friend of mine had me go to www.myipaddress.com where it picked out showed me the IP address of each pc you logged on from.

In myipaddress.com, it automatically appears to give you the ip address of YOUR pc. I then checked under THAT and turns out we were black listed under the pc ip and not the router.

Please bare with me as my knowledge on this type of stuff is extremely limited. I apologize BUT thank you all for the help.

You only have a bit of corporate spyware on your system that shows up in the HJT log... It would probably be a good idea to run a couple of other scans that go deeper... First run the Blacklight scan for rootkits...

vega55 · 08-10-2006, 01:15 AM

Okay, I understand now. Thanks.

We use our ISP's mail server. It's a very small office, so we dont have an IT guy or use our own setup. We currently have Rode Runner as our ISP. Hope this information is what you were asking for.

heatwave · 08-10-2006, 01:15 AM

"noadware" was only delisted as a rogue program last year and I still would not trust it to accurately report problems on your PC and to fix them... Also, if you have a trojan that has installed a server on your PC that is distributing SPAM, it is unlikely that the scans you ran have been effective... I suggest that you continue "waisting your time" (sic) and follow the instructions I posted earlier...

iceman99 · 08-10-2006, 01:16 AM

you still did not answer the question do you have your own mail server or are you using your ISPs mail server???? if you have your own mail server go to the mail server and go to myipaddress.com to see what its public address is as, usualy it will be different then the network PCs public address (the PCs usualy share an address and the mail server will have its own). The mail server public address is what you want to search on and test against as it will have port 25 open this is the SMTP port and if you close it you will not recieve e-mail then.
