If you use Spamcop, or ORBS, as a spam filter service, please be aware
that these services are inclined to make mistakes. Not for the first time,
one has got the idea that legit list mail is spam.

194.20.8.25 is nothing to do with my domain, the list server IP is
212.47.80.97 which is not blocked. The mail blocked above was a legit
list mail, from my server, so they must be blocking on sender address,
which is idiotic. 1,490 of the 1,500 spams I receive (and block, without 1
false positive, ever) every week have forged sender addresses.
Spamcop & ORBS make it virtually impossible for me to get de-listed since
if they offered a mechanism, spammers would use it. If you use these flakey
systems, don't be surprised to never hear from the list, or me, ever
again.
