Distributed Server Boycott List.
[Internet] The DSBL list contain the IP
addresses of servers that have relayed special test messages
to listme@listme.dsbl.org; this can happen if the server
is an open relay, an open proxy, or has another vulnerability
that allows anybody to deliver email to anywhere
through that server. DSBL itself doesn't do any
tests; it simply listens for incoming test messages and
lists the server that delivers the message to DSBL's mail
server. Used by other e-mail servers
to block potential scammers. See if your ISP has "open relay"
mail servers. |
