Description Aleksey Nogin 2000-07-11 05:22:47 UTC 
199.183.24.247 (lists.redhat.com) is blacklisted by ORBS as an open relay.
This has the following consequences:
1) Some people have trouble getting RedHat lists.
2) Spammers may potentially abuse RedHat's server.
3) It makes RedHat looks bad.
Comment 1 Paul Lindner 2000-07-11 05:48:43 UTC 
Being a former mail admin, I concur, being on ORBS is bad, very bad.

I'm adding the IS department postmaster & helpdesk to the Cc: line.
Comment 2 Paul Lindner 2000-07-14 19:20:10 UTC 
IS fixed the firewalls, Alan Cox requested ORBS remove us from their system..

Out of our court...
