BUT, my POP account is sitting on a server that uses spamcop, so, the email is sent BACK to the sender because is black-listed. When someone sends mail to the alias, 1and1 () forwards the email on to my POP account. I set up an alias with 1and1 that points to my real account. I am a 1and1 user and I am having the same problems as Carl. The 1and1 server that I see being blocked is: Their current provider's machines keep winding up on AOL's blocking list. I know that doesn't, for example, and I'm in the process of moving all my accounts there, and I'm also affiliated with some nonprofits who are also moving there for the same reason. In those cases, the providers often have all the hosting accounts on a given box (and there are often hundreds on one box) share a single outbound IP address.Ī solution would be to move the domain to a provider that doesn't do that. With normal domain hosting, the only email that usually is handled by the web server is mail sent either from their webmail interface, or messages rebroadcast from mailing lists hosted on the web server. For example, if you're sending using your Qwest connection and a standard POP account, then your messages shouldn't be going 'out through the provider's relay with their IP' - they should be handled entirely by Qwest. It would also be helpful if you could clarify some things about the way the mail is being sent. For example, it would be good if you could identify the domain name of the nonprofit that you're hosting at '1and1' (we're assuming ',' yes?). We need just a little more info in order to help evaluate your situation. However, just doing some quick checks, I can't come up with your 'currently' and 'repeatedly' blocked IP address.įirst, going with AOL would be a bad ust all of us on that. Or at least that's one possible explanation. maybe it's all headed through this IP now? the first two IP's were showing downward trends in the flow of e-mail. however chasing them down led to yetanother e-mail server at 212.227.142.1. Results: Positive=1, Negative=27, Timeouts=1 ( 23:31:42 UTC)įIVETEN/.misc: UNKNOWN TXT (permfail,nodata) reports the following MX records:Īddresses in used to send emailĪddress hostname DNS Verified Daily Mag Monthly Mag And we would lose our unique domain name - but I think it unlikely anyone is going to block an AOL address.Īny other good ideas? Anything out there that is impervious to this problem? They don't do POP but they support IMAIL. I thought of signing up with AOL to provide the email service. I am trying to give the non profit some other options, to avoid this kind of problem in the future. I have some consolation in that ALL of their customers are blocked, but it is very annoying, to say the least. My IP never goes anywhere - I am behind QWest's firewall. Their relay IP is the one that gets blocked. I get to the web via QWEST, and then 1and1 does the relay of the emails. It was news to me that my emails go out through the provider's relay with their IP. I assume some customer is generating spam through this provider.

The provider says that they are sorry about it, and they are working on it. And sometimes it is turned off, and then back on. AOL / Netscape was one of the first, but it spread. We are using outlook and standard POP accounts for access.Īs of last week, both accounts are suddenly blacklisted by a wide variety of domains. I am not new to this, but I don't quite understand what is going on that is blocking my emails going out.Ībout a year ago, I signed up with 1and1 for email and site hosting, for myself and a non profit that I am associated with.
