We asked for delisting.

trymes:
I think that you will be unable to be delisted from the PBL. The IP Address range is blocked because Rackspace has a policy that outbound e-mail from that Address range should be authenticated and relayed through their server. You will need to configure your outgoing mail to relay through them.

From http://www.slicehost.com/articles/2009/11/4/rackspace-email-promotion#comment-10723:

--- Quote ---It seems that those of us who are running mail servers on our slice(s) are all of a sudden in the Policy Block List (PBL) of Spamhaus because of a Rackspace policy.

“It is the policy of rackspace that unauthenticated email sent from this IP address should be sent out only via the designated outbound mail server allocated to rackspace customers. To find the hostname of the correct mail server to use, customers should consult the original signup documentation or contact rackspace Technical Support.”

Shouldn’t we have been notified for this change by Slicehost along with some advice on the steps we need to take?

Weird, as of today your link says:


--- Code: ---173.203.200.53 is not listed in the SBL
173.203.200.53 is not listed in the PBL
173.203.200.53 is not listed in the XBL
--- End code ---

Do you get emails? :)
BTW, we DO NOT send email from the server directly - we relay to our mail host. That is just the originationg IP.

This said, I wish there was a way to overcome this madness and just leave email alone. But I see no viable alternative.
