[Freemint-list] FreeMiNT list (again) blacklisted

[Markus Fröschle]

Hi all,

the last mail I received from the list was from 5th of December.

Indeed, MiNT list was blacklisted again until a few minutes ago (see 
here: http://www.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=96.32.243.245). Not because 
it has been identified as spam source, but just because the MTA has been 
misconfigured according to RFCs:

This IP address is HELO'ing as *"localhost.localdomain"* which violates 
the relevant standards (specifically: RFC5321).

As far as I understand, this was for the same reason than last time and 
several times before, i.e. the problem wasn't fixed.

It appears our mintlist mail host identifies itself as 
localhost.localdomain instead of mail.atariforge.org on initial HELO to 
receiving MTAs when it attempts to deliver mail.

If this doesn't get fixed, we'll never get reliable MiNT list message 
delivery since our mail host will be blacklisted again.

Spamhaus offers detailed advice on how to repair the current 
misbehaviour here: http://www.abuseat.org/namingproblems.html

Alan, I don't know if its you or anybody else in charge of the mail 
server config, but it needs to be fixed.

Thank you!

Markus
