Smtp1.song.fi and smtp2.song.fi, our list servers, seem to have gotten listed in the bl.spamcop.net RBL. Spamcop listings are temporary and will time out, and because of occasional major false positives (or perhaps collateral damage?) like this I don't use it to reject mail. Anyone who IS using Spamcop to reject mail has missed much of today's list traffic.
Oh. I changed to use smtp.song.fi because dovecot.org's IP was listed as "Dynamic/Generic IP/rDNS address" by Sorbs. Maybe I should change back then if Spamcop is used more?..
In my bitter experience, SORBS causes more damage than any of the other BLs put together and is used very heavily, SpamCop included among other, lesser lists. SpamCop listings of listhosts are usually caused by silly users who were not doing their homework properly and used the reporting interface to do the wrong thing. EuroCAUCE was even listed once! Your resolutions are to either wait for SpamCop to give up on the host, to hope that the user repents and undoes the damage by request, that someone appeals on your behalf, or to look up the IPs at SpamCop, review the tatters of the message you are allowed to look at, and to try to find the subscriber who did this with tracefields. It won't be easy, though (and judging from forum posts, you aren't likely to find the people helpful in defending a so-called sp@mmer). Anyway, you mustn't surrender. :-)
Good luck!
Cheers, Sabahattin
