Subject: [OT] piclist email server listed as spammer...
Importance: Low

Our email server, pch.mit.edu [18.7.21.90], just got listed at spamcop.com
as a spam sender. 

As a result, many (about 100) of our members have rejected emails from the
list. 

E.g. "(reason: 554 Service unavailable; Client host [18.7.21.90] blocked
using bl.spamcop.net; Blocked - see
http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?18.7.21.90)"

As a result, the list server has disabled their subscriptions.

As a result, those of you who are left (the ones who don't use RBLs, or
thought to whitelist the piclist address) are not going to hear responses
from any of them, until we get this mess sorted out, since they are not
going to get your post.

"whitelists, they're not just for individuals anymore"

P.S. does anyone have any idea why this would have happened? They say
"System has sent mail to SpamCop spam traps in the past week (spam traps are
secret, no reports or evidence are provided by SpamCop)" and I wonder how
that could have happened... Someone with admin access to a mit hosted list
(surely not the PICList?!) could have been using it to spam people I
suppose...
