I've been trying to email someone today but it's been returned with the following error:
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain theirdomain.co.nz by theirdomain.co.nz. [108.166.164.132].
The error that the other server returned was:
550-"JunkMail rejected - mail-wi0-f178.google.com [209.85.212.178]:36816 is in
550-an RBL, see Currently Sending Spam See:
550 http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?209.85.212.178"
I use Google Apps for my work email and they use shared US hosting for theirs. There is plenty on the web about SORBS blocking Gmail accounts but not much on how it works.
So my question is where does SORBS come into the delivery process for email ?
If I send my email through Google's servers and the recipient is using their hosts settings, where does SORBS come in ? They have contacted their hosts who say there are no errors on their servers and SORBS is nothing to do with them.
Various searches on GZ seem to say it's with the ISP. They are on VF and have recently had UFB installed with a few issues along with way with them being connected, disconnected and then reconnected again with their payments going to their old account and not the new one.
Cheers
