Finally our main email server seems to be able to contact relay.verizon.net - so only a month of email gone. No idea if this is Verizon smelling coffee, or just them whitelisting us.
Port 25 of relay.verizon.net is still a blackhole as far as *.mail.uksolutions.net is concerned, although I can ping and traceroute the host just fine. All of the incidental little shell accounts I have scattered around the UK can see it either. I've tried from virgin IP addresses and even well-known boxes it'd not be a bad idea to blackhole just in case they'd somehow inverted the logic on the firewall... So I'd say that it was you being whitelisted and they haven't ceased to be a bunch of clueless fsckwits. Alternatively, you've just been blacklisted and the inverted logic now lets you through :) -- PGP key ID E85DC776 - finger abuse@mooli.org.uk for full key
