Greetings,
Apparently the IP address of a dedicated server that I just purchased is on a blacklist that's used by redhat.com's mail servers:
Aug 7 18:44:44 SP2392b postfix/smtp[6482]: A52F0516BF9: to=fedora-list@redhat.com, relay=mx1.redhat.com[66.187.233.31], delay=10, status=bounced (host mx1.redhat.com[66.187.233.31] said: 550 5.0.0 banned due to spam (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Aug 7 18:54:47 SP2392b postfix/smtp[6576]: 4CE4E516BF9: to=fedora-list@redhat.com, relay=mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32], delay=6, status=bounced (host mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32] said: 550 5.0.0 banned due to spam (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Aug 7 18:57:22 SP2392b postfix/smtp[6603]: 657DE516BF9: to=fedora-list@redhat.com, relay=mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32], delay=0, status=bounced (host mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32] said: 550 5.0.0 banned due to spam (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
I got around this by reconfiguring Thunderbird to use my mail server here at home, which then uses my ISP's SMTP servers as a smarthost. I've checked numerous RBL's that I know of, but can't seem to find any that my IP address is listed in. I'll have to reconfigure Thunderbird when I get to work in the morning, however, and again when I get home, etc. (laptop that goes with me).
Anyone familiar with the RBL's that redhat.com is using? Alternatively, if there's someone from Red Hat who has the ability to get the restrictions removed, feel free to contact me off-list.
Thanks, -j

Try feeding your IP number into the "Spam database lookup" field on: http://dnsstuff.com/
Note: Read the comments at the bottom of the page after the search.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that one before. The IP address in question, 64.251.22.89 does show up in the SPEWS database. Reading their page makes me think that trying to get it removed from there would be more trouble than I feel like dealing with right now.
Thanks, -j

I bet this is why you got it cheap. {^_-}

Diagnosing such problems is usually easier if you say what the actual IP address in question is.
Given that no reference to an external list is mentioned in the rejection message, it's quite possible that it's a local list run by redhat themselves for their own use.

You might try postmaster at redhat dot com

64.251.22.89 is the IP address.

Agreed...
You might try postmaster at redhat dot com
...which is why I tried that too.

Which probably also bounced, since postmaster at redhat dot com seems to use the same blacklist. *sigh* At least, this is the way it was a few months ago when I had a similar problem.

what's the ip address of your server?
