OK, I visited relays.osirusoft.com and went to their "rblcheck"
page and typed in "proxy2.ba.best.com"

(Apparently Osirusoft doesn't actually maintain all the blacklists
they publish; they also collect the various blacklists maintained
by others into one place.  I think that's a pretty nice service,
actually.)

proxy2.ba.best.com was listed in several databases, all for the
crime of being an open relay, subject to hijacking by spammers.

My recollection is that this has been an on-going problem for
months.  Verio/Best has their own reasons for not closing the relay,
but I can't remember what those reasons are.


Anyway, you *might* try writing to PacBell and asking them not to
block email from open relays, but only from known spam sources.
Frankly, I think you'll have a better chance of convincing Verio/Best
to close the open relay.


Does anyone know if Verio/Best run any non-open relays, and if it's
possible to configure our outgoing email to use them?
