In the meantime, you should be able to send stuff out via webmail if you have that facility with gate.com, or with some other email provider. Regards Mark ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **

You haven't yet described how you are using Tbird for mail -- what mailservers and what configuration. > I have web sites at Gate.com in the US and in trying to use the SMTP > server from my site or Gate.com, it will not send. 'It will not send' is not informative. Is the smtp server smtp auth? Does it require a SSL connection? Where are you getting your information for how you are to configure for the smtp server. > I have to use the SMTP server from cwpanama.net in order to send. > No problem except that the spam filters in the US flag mail from Central > America as spam. There is not a 'generic'/standard spamfilters in the US. Every spamfilter is configured. Some people use their provider's filter which isn't particularly configurable. As a general rule, if your recipients whitelist your mail it shouldn't be considered spam. One major cwpanama.net output server is static.cwpanama.net which is blocklisted quite a few places for hitting spamtraps and such. If you use the same output server as is used to output spam, you are going to run into filter problems. > Is there a work around that I can use or set up?

If a mailserver rejects the mail from a blocklisted IP before it ever gets to a point where it can be whitelisted at the request of a client, then the client has no control of the rejection process. -- Mike Easter

Re: Can't get mail out of Panama On Fri, 03 Oct 2008, in the Usenet newsgroup alt.os.linux.ubuntu, in article , Wendell wrote: >If this is inappropriate just let me know. Have you been reading the Usenet newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting? That _moderated_ newsgroup was set up to discuss this type of issue. Reading the FAQ for that group would probably answer much of your questions, and show you the type of information others need to help answer the rest of them. Start at http://www.blocklisting.com/faq.html >I am using Ubuntu 8.4 with Thunderbird for email and news. It's 8.04, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the problem. >I have web sites at Gate.com in the US and in trying to use the SMTP >server from my site or Gate.com, it will not send. "it will not send" means what? Does the computer catch fire? Are you receiving an error message? What mail tool or application are you trying to use? Which port are you trying to send to, 25 or 587? From what address range? Does the remote system send any error message? >I have to use the SMTP server from cwpanama.net in order to send. >No problem except that the spam filters in the US flag mail from >Central America as spam. The spam filters, whether in the US, or anywhere else in the world, are run by individual ISPs, as well as by individual people. Not all of LACNIC is blocked, but it does have a pretty horrible reputation. >Is there a work around that I can use or set up? That depends on what the problem is, and you have not told us what that problem is - what error message you get. >I have tried to tell people to have their ISP allow mail from my site >but to no avail. That is one of the recommended solutions - the other is to use an external relay that isn't on the various blocklists for spam and other mail or network abuse. Old guy

Re: Can't get mail out of Panama Check to see if your IP (the IP you used to send e-mail which is being blocked) is listed by one of the RBL (Real-time Blackhole List) providers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNSBL I use several RBL services for my mail servers, and additionally route e-mail from most all foreign TLDs to the bit bucket using my own SMTP blacklist router. Here are some links that may be useful: http://www.spamhaus.org http://njabl.org http://cbl.abuseat.org http://cn-kr.blackholes.us -- John .
