[wplug] spam score for comcast

[Ken Rambler]

If you are using Comcast and the question is how to get an IP address that
is not blocked, you have to get a business static IP address. You can have
up to 5 IP's on one router/cable modem. It acts as the gateway as well.

If this is what you want, let me know for more details.

Subject: [wplug] spam score for comcast


We use Comcast for bandwidth and First Net for email/web hosting. Internal
emails (i.e. to other olneyfriends.org addresses) get a high spam score when
sent with a POP/SMTP client like Thunderbird.  The spam score is driven
primarily by the fact that our dynamic IP from Comcast appears in a dsbl.org
black list.  We run no Internet facing services, and should not be black
listed.  But more importantly, we are connecting to our First Net mail
server via SMTP AUTH, which should prove that the email is legit.

Several questions materialize...
1. Does this problem affect external email as well? (I need to test with
someone running Spam Assassin)

2. How does one go about removing their dynamic IP from black lists?

3. What the freak?  SMTP AUTH is supposed to cure this problem, right?
