[TriLUG] recent "Poor Reputation Sender" bounces

[shay walters via TriLUG]

For what it's worth, a while back I had gotten black-listed by yahoo and I
finally figured out that it was an account getting security camera images
that was set up on a motion detector which was forwarding email from my
server to a yahoo account, and when something would trigger lots of images
(rain, snow, wind), yahoo would interpret that as spamming.  In this case,
stopping the offending emails cleared up the black-list in a short time
without having to email anyone to get de-listed or anything. (I'm not sure
exactly how long it took, seems like a few days.)
    So it's possible there might be some on-going action that is keeping a
black-list active.  If it's a server that has multiple accounts, maybe even
someone else on the same server.
    This may have no bearing on your particular situation, but I thought
I'd mention it just in case.
