Kolbers,
Evidently matronics.com uses a service provided by barracudacentral.com
called "Barracuda Reputation" than rates IP addresses and offers a service
that lets one block IP address that pass too much spam, etc, etc. This may
seem like a good idea to block IP addresses that pass a high rate of spam
etc. but it is some what insidious in that when you block an IP address you
shut down all other communication. In this case I could not email the List
or Matt about the problem.
I Googled and called Barracuda. I asked it they directly contacted the
owner of the IP address that was causing problems, and the answer was no
they do not. They just compile the data and let their customers decide what
to do. They are only providing information and a means for others to take
action there for they can suffer no liability or responsibility. The upshot
is that when Matronics and others, who use this service, they also close
down the passage of legitimate information as well as the spammers etc. that
pass through a problem IP address.
If you get a message like the one below, call Barracuda at 408-342-5400.
They will give you a case number and call you back. When they call, express
some displeasure at the ham fisted approach to knocking you off your
favorite list and ask them to notify the owner of the offending IP address.
In a couple of hours the block will be removed. Also contact your email
provider and let them know that one of their IP addresses is being blocked.
This gives the provider a chance to check and clean out the server.
I know the internet pipe line is under attack. Since it does not
discriminate between the spam, and the legitimate user, IP address blocking
is not the answer. It is much like blocking the flow of water or
electricity because one person on the system did not pay their bill.

I can understand your frustration, but you might want to contact your
ISP, too. They control what flows through their IP address. If Barracuda
is right about the amount of spam coming from that IP address, I'd be
concerned about using them for my email service. Serving abusive
spammers doesn't say much for the ISP's ethics.

Matt ran his weasel message a short time back, wonder if that had
something to do with it. I don't recall seeing it having been run
for some time. It is a operation to detect bogus email addresses
spammer have used to subscribe to his mail list so they can post spam
messages - because the weasel message bounces back if it is a bogus
address it deletes that subscribed address from the list. It tells
you not to replay back, if you did you may have had your address
automatically deleted.
