Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus, others (more info?)

We had a blacklisting issue yesterday - one of our workstations
managed to get a mass mailing trojan which resulting in us being
blacklisted on a number of internet blacklists.

We've since taken the offending workstation offline and have now been
taken off of the blacklists we were on (we checked using mxtoolbox).


Unfortunately we're still getting some emails bounced back stating
that we're blacklisted (although not detailing the actual blacklist).

As far as we're aware we're not on any blacklists now.

Is it simply a case of having to wait a few days for the recipients
email servers to update their blacklists?

thanks in advance!

we're talking emails going to Hotmail, Tiscali etc that are being
bounced back.

Yes wait it out; some orgs will cache or run periodic updates based on
their own shedule.

Also doesn't hurt to get a spf record if you don't currently have one
in the meantime.

thanks!

what does the SPF involve doing? in what ways would it be beneficial.

AFAIK Microsoft is fetching our zones just once per day and Tiscali is
rsyncing every 12 hours.
Were you listed at UCEPROTECT by yesterday?

Some people operate local blacklists under guidelines similar to what
some said Curtis LeMay taught, to whit: "To err is human. To forgive
is not Strategic Air Command Policy."

I can't be bothered with maintaining lists for the fun of if. Stuff
goes in to protect, comes out when somebody being protected complains.
