Speaking strictly as someone who's done nothing more than read a couple of articles: I've head of other people that have dealt with these same issues. In short, forwarding spam will (usually) result in having to deal with blacklist removal, etc. Iirc, most of the people that had these issues ended up installing some sort of spam appliance (such as sonicwall or SpamAssassin) in order to remove most of the spam before forwarding. There's no nice way to forward spam and to remain off of black lists that I know of. On 10/2/07,

I have more that want to have their mail forward to gmail so they can use gmails spam filter. I definitely know that Yahoo keeps a "reputation" for certain IP addresses. I have had the problem before of having legitimate mail sent through my server to yahoo, aol, or gmail end up in bulk mail folders. After configuring SPF, and installed Domain Keys, as well as hitting "not spam" enough times, I seem to be doing ok. I am ready to move some of my customers to a new server and I am afraid to start allowing them to forward their mail. If gmail (or anybody else) see's a lot of SPAM coming from my ip address (because it's forwarded), will that hurt my IP address's reputation? Is this something that a full service web host just has to deal with? ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
