(I'm not sure if this is the correct forum because probably not a Spark/xtra problem - but not sure where to post it).

 

A friend in Australia uses Skymesh for his emails. I have been sending him emails for years but in recent days all my emails have bounced back with message “Mail Delivery System<postmaster@xtra.co.nz>  Mail Delivery Failure”.

 

The email address I’m sending to is correct and other people are not having any problem sending to him. I’m sending from iPad using xtra email on Apple mail app. Just tested sending from MacBook Pro and getting same result.

 

The error message I get is long and detailed and way beyond my comprehension. The first few lines of the message say:

This message was created automatically by the mail system (ecelerity).

 

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

 

friend@skymesh.com.au” (after RCPT TO): 554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [210.55.143.52] refused by SkyMesh; blocked by UCEProtect; IP 210.55.143.52 is UCEPROTECT-Level 1 listed. See http://www.uceprotect.net/rblcheck.php?ipr=210.55.143.52

 

Reporting-MTA: dns; xtra.co.nz

Would be grateful for advice.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Skymesh are blocking your email (Spark) probably due to spam. You can ask both parties to look into it.

 

But according to the site :

 

How can the IP be removed from UCEPROTECT-Level 1?
Every IP temporary listed at Level 1 will be removed automatically (and free of charge) as soon as it is no longer a source of abuse for 7 days.

 

So stop spamming them ;) Hehe...

The IP address belongs to Spark and is used to send out emails. They obviously got themselves into some spam lists.

 

You could contact Spark support. Prepare yourself to be asked to restart your computer, restart your router, restart the ONT, run antivirus, reinstall the email client, reset your passwords everywhere and having to explain every single time that this is their IP address being blocked:

It's worth noting that UCEPROTECT doesn't exactly have the best reputation in the industry - I'd also be highlighting this to Skymesh:
