1415572 2016-02-05 23:35:00 Hi Team

For several months I have been working on a court case with an Australian Law firm, and I am scheduled to be an expert witness in the upcoming Court proceedings.

I have sent many messages to the Practice's email address, long and short, with and without attachments etc and have never had a failure, but my most recent message was rejected (see below) and I have no idea why. Is it an issue at the Oz end of the system? but then, what does this mean: "554 Your access to this mail system from 219.88.24x.xx has been rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation." because that sounds rather like it is at this end of the trail!

Are they referring to Orcon or the Australian ISP?

Below is the full report:

If anybody can throw some light on this I'd be very grateful.

1415573 2016-02-06 01:10:00 Your IP address has been blacklisted for sending mail due to abuse, possibly a whole range of IPs has been used to filter out the problem.

You maybe a victim of collateral damage, or if you acquired a dynamic IP, you have got one that was abused.

Anything that could block you like their firewall, spam filter, badly setup configs, etc can cause this error too.

If getting a different IP is out of the question, you need to find a ip reputation look up tool, check your IP and see what results it gets and then make a submission that it's a misunderstanding if its not good and hope in their powers they rectify the situation.

Cheers,

1415574 2016-02-06 01:36:00 It looks to me as if it is the Orcon mail server that is blacklisted not your IP address
You appear to be sending using mail.orcon.net.nz and the IP being blocked 219.88.24x.xx belongs to Orcon

Yes, I am on Orcon, and I can assure you that the worst activity I have perpetrated on the Web is a heap of bad jokes on Monday Laughs.

From the wording of the message, I got the distinct impression that it was the ISP they were hammering.

I also have an email service on Xtra so perhaps I can bypass the issue pro-tem. Is it only the ISP of the Oz connection that would be blocked?

I sent emails to my Gmail and Xtra addresses via Orcon, and and both were delivered so my local traffic may be OK.

I guess I'd better contact Orcon about this.


Cheers

1415576 2016-02-06 04:39:00 Yes it is the Oz ISP that is using some sort of spam blocker that has the Orcon mail server on their list.
Contact Orcon and see if they can get it removed, this can sometimes take some time though.

1415578 2016-02-06 22:50:00 Yea you'll need to contact orcon and let them know their mail servers have been blacklisted and to fix it ASAP.
If you have your own domain name you would be better to move to office 365 or google apps, so you don't have to rely on an ISPs mail server.

Somebody must have got in before me, because this morning it was all ok .

I resent the errant email to the client in Oz and it didn't bounce back .

Just as well too, because I had other fish to fry today!
