This mail server is listed only in Blars's (did I wrote correctly?), but I forgot exact URL where that can be checked. We have 194.247.213.0/24 net-block, I contacted Blars and here is his answer: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 194.247.192.0/19 is in BlarsBL for sending spam and hosting spammer web sites. abuse@eunet.yu was informed about the problem multiple times and the spam continued. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tried to post answer with explanation, but I give up after I've got bounce :-( You see, because some machine on 194.247.192.0/19 are source of spam (I didn't check, but that is likely true) Blars blocked network which is not. Hi could block 194.247.0.0/16 or 194.0.0.0/8 So, IMHO RBL is evil. With amavisd-new, spamassassin, clamav and some postfix tweaking I have less then 5% of spam in my users mailboxes. Again, sorry for of-topic post.
