GMail – ORBS blacklist FAIL

Hilarious fun for all the family. Google’s GMail service has been blacklisted by an ORBS product.

These ORBS places are run by dumb ass vigilantes. The Internet just doesn’t need wanna-be-cops who have no legal basis for their operations. Just in case you’re wondering, I’ve been blacklisted by similar morons in the past and simply couldn’t get off their stupid lists, despite NEVER being a spammer and only sending maybe 30 messages a day from my host. Greebo, my not so clever cat, has more spam spidey sense than these oxygen bandits will ever have.

So here’s the transcript:

“Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 Rejected 74.125.83.43 found in dnsbl.sorbs.net (state 13).”

Let’s look that IP up, as it’s not mine:


% nslookup 74.125.83.43
...
Non-authoritative answer:
43.83.125.74.in-addr.arpa name = mail-gw0-f43.google.com.


FAIL.

Good luck getting off that list, Google! Let’s see if your billions of dollars and many lawyers will make it happen where my pleas fell on dumb ears.
