Listers:
Ever wonder why your Mil-Veh mail gets blocked for 'no reason'? Well maybe
here is one good reason as noted by my ISP who btw definitely knows his
stuff, having been an ISP since day one. I sent a copy to Arthur, too.
Looks like major flaws in both houses:

I noticed the mil-veh mail being blocked this morning and unblocked the
relay.
The reason it got on our (blocking) list is partly because the relay's IP
address resolves to a name that does not resolve back to the same IP
address. The mail comes from IP address 66.47.50.226:
66.47.50.226 --> mail.skylee.com
mail.skylee.com --> 66.47.50.238
We don't reject mail on that basis alone, although it's such a strong
indicator of spam that I'm considering it. One of our customers with
their own mail relay bought a commercial anti-spam package, and it does
reject mail from all relays flunking that consistency check.
(mil-veh/skylee has things even more screwed up:
66.47.50.238 --> mail.mil-veh.org
mail.mil-veh.org --> 66.47.50.227)

Mil-Veh List needs to get more 'mission-critical' - more 21st century. If
anyone has Arthur's ear please tug at his sleeve. 8^)
