Although I'm able to send mail to most people without a problem using smarthost, I still have a few that bounce back with errors like: Your message was rejected by mail.lance.com for the following reason:
Service unavailable; Client host [cdptpa-omtalb.mail.rr.com]blocked by zen.spamhaus.org; http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=70.62.90.185
I'm using the smarthost server that I should be using according
to the information:
define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp-server.carolina.rr.com')dnl
Although I'm in a residential IP range, my connection is Business
Class, so sending smtp mail is not restricted (at least contractually).
Why would I still have this problem if I'm using smarthost? Is
there a way to resolve it?
The problem has nothing to do with the Smart host server entry.
Read the information in the URL above and contact your ISP.
Adding to that, Your ISP has a lot of zombied, sick clients on it. I find it hard to believe the number of zombied computers on the RoadRunner network trying to hit my mail server. Your upstream ISP server is letting a lot of junk through by lack of control by your ISP. Now, they've been black listed by spamhaus.org for that content.
Unfortunately you chose a bad ISP. Complain to them and/or threaten to take your business elsewhere, but their problem is so large, they probably can't even begin to put a dent in it now!
