[Elecraft] Mail incorrectly bounced as SPAM??

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Art,

It has nothing to do with your email's content. Someone who is also
using the same send mail server as you at your ISP is spewing SPAM onto
the Internet.  The sorbs or  bl.csma.biz anti spam server has
temporarily blacklisted all email from your server to protect everyone
from overload. This is a frequent occurrence these days, unfortunately.

QTH.net, our host for the Elecraft email list, uses this service and
several others to avoid overload of their servers when a SPAM attack
occurs. Its the only way they can keep regular traffic flowing in the
face of the rising tide of SPAM emails.

The block is usually lifted in a day or two as the spam sent via your
ISPs mail server subsides. (It is usually coming from an unsuspecting
user with an infected PC...) You might want to contact the guys at your
ISP and let them know what has happened and include a copy of the bounce
message. They might be able to speed the unblocking.

In the mean time, if you have an account on a different ISP, try sending
from it. If you continue to have problems posting we can also repost for
you. (Email  elecraft-owner at mailman.qth.net )
