Is it possible that spamcop.net is wrong? At work, we have
extensively tested, retested, patched, tested, and did I
mention tested, for open relay ability and I believe we
are OK. In fact, every open relay blacklist shows our
server as just fine EXCEPT spamcop.net. Emails to the guy
that runs it (and his replies) are nearly pointless, for
reasons I won't disclose on a mailing list.
The server in question is mail.kalamazoo.k12.mi.us. It is
running GroupWise GWIA for the MTA. spamcop shows an
actual spam header with our mail server IP address info. I
don't see how anyone is actually using our server for
spam, but there it is. Could that address have been forged
somehow? I've been pulling my hair out for about a week
and half, and anyone who knows me kows there's not much
hair there! :)
One idea I had was to put a Linux server in the mix for the
sole purpose of SMTP and get the GWIA out of the way. That
is being considered by higher powers, but so are other
options.
Pointers in the right direction are appreciated. TIA!
