This collection of idiots decided to use a DNS blacklist on their mail server and blacklisted my ISPs mail server smtp.nildram.co.uk. Instead of using the DNS blacklist to raise the score or flag an email as potentially spam, these morons just reject the incoming mail. Result was that I can no longer send legitimate mail to some of my customers. When I telephone this ISP (Can’t email postmaster because of dumb DNS blacklist… Doh!) they tell me that they need to get the problem reported by their customer..how is the customer supposed to know that they are losing emails??? Never mind, we’ll recommend our client to change ISP.
