<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Well I phoned the Manitoba government
and 4 numbers later. I was advised to get a government employee to
open a support ticket as only government employees can do so.
Looks like I have a few more phone calls to make before this will
get resolve. And maybe a dozen more run-arounds.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>

<div>But yea, make sure you're off all the blacklists (this is
not always possible, some demand money and can be ignored),
then try to find an IT contact there to talk to. <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.gov.mb.ca/contact/">https://www.gov.mb.ca/contact/</a>
might be a good start, I'd phone, not email though, as you're
going to get bounced around a bunch.</div>

I can gather from searching around on the internet, EDS is a
rather generic acronym for e-mail defense service, of which
there seem to be a few around. So that doesn't really help
narrow down exactly which block list your server is still
on.<br>
<br>
There used to be a multi-list checker at <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://openrbl.org"
target="_blank">openrbl.org</a>, but that doesn't seem to
be there anymore. However, the domain did redirect me (in
probably what is the first case I've seen of a useful
redirection of a lapsed DNS domain to a "parking page") to
another site that eventually led me here...<br>

They have a multi-blacklist checker, in which you can check
your server's IP address against many lists. The initial
scan is against 35 lists, but if you click on the link
"Check All Blacklists" you'll get a test against over 100
lists. There is also another multi-blacklist checker here:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check"
target="_blank">http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check</a>
. If neither checker finds any, or if one does and after
getting off those lists you still can't send to <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://gov.mb.ca"
target="_blank">gov.mb.ca</a>, I'd suggest getting in
touch with them to find out who their blackhole list
provider is.

I have inherited a poorly maintained SMTP server with
lots of spam going through this server everyday. I have
slowly been killing off spammers mail accounts and
removing the server from various blockilists. And the
server has not been sending any spam for months now. I'm
also able to send mail to almost everyone again, except
to emails with the "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://gov.mb.ca" target="_blank">gov.mb.ca</a>"
domain. I get the reply "refused by EDS blackhole list".<br>
<br>
My question is, how do I get my server unblocked by the
Manitoba government ?<br>
