spaedi Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Recently it has come to my attention people sending email from hotmail addresses get a bounce back message when trying to send email to my domain.I haven't changed any settings on the spam filter and previously this has never been a problem....So my question is, has something been changed, or has what ever spam list the filter uses for some reason flagged hotmail as spam due to abuse maybe? Either way, I couldn't find a way to totally disable spam assassin and have reluctantly adjusted the filter rate from the default 5.0 to 10.0.*edit* the problem still exists as the hotmail server has been flagged on http://www.spamcop.netNot happy, gosh knows how many client emails I have potentially missed because of this. *update*I've added the hotmail mail ip addresses to the whitelist of spam assassin and this works, is there not a better way to get around this issue?

Just to follow up. hotmail is still blocked. I contacted mdd support and was advised it's out of their control and that my clients should use a better email service............... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaedi Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Looks like hotmail servers have finally been removed from the spamcop list. All is well now, carry on people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
