If you aren't angry enough by having the plug pulled on your main form of communication, APEWS.org won't deal with end users to white list smtp.ntlworld.com and instruct you to go via your ISP (NTL/Virgin Media in our case who don't think there's anything wrong!! FFS)
Quite why this APEWS group of people think we need yet another spam black list is beyond me as they are just creating new Spam problems for legitimate businesses/individuals rather than solving them.
My next move is to locate a reputable email provider who is not black listed anywhere and operates in a manner to prevent black listing and has a feasable plan in place should they or any of their customers get black listed.
Hope this helps others who are unfairly suffering Spam black listings. |
APEWS are considered a joke in the ISP community, as thier lists block a hell of a lot of legitimate email. ISP's who find their customers are blocked from sending emails to companies that use that service can either get their servers white listed with the company, or threaten the company with a block against their network.
More and more companies that used APEWS are turning to more reputable lists because of the backlash they are getting.
If anyone remembers SPEWS, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Error 452 is ntl's standard rejection message, normally due to the remote MTA being blacklisted.
The server specified above, mx6.daemonmail.net, is currently on two different blacklists:
http://www.senderbase.org/search?sea...216.104.160.36 |
No error 452 often indicates that there is a mismatch between the X-SENDER and X_ENVELOPE address, errors in the 55 range usually means a block on the MTA.
If you are getting regular 452 errors, make sure your reply to address matches yourr sender address when using smtp.ntlworld.com.
In other words, if you are connected to the VM network, and you are a former ntl user, make sure that your smtp server is set to smtp.ntlworld.com (smpt.ntlworld.com also works), and make sure that the senders email address matches the reply to address.
That should rid you of the 452 error.
