Un-realised reports are worse, where you only later discover your
domain name or an IP number has been falsely listed.
I searched for a tool to periodically run, to automatically scan
with a list of RBL providers, whether any RBL has silently listed
your domain names or numbers:

Any recommendations ?
Opinion:
Bad enough that some commercial companies profit by dumping their
admin problems on the innocent far end. Worse that the far end
may be an unpaid organisation, so companies steal time from
volunteer admins. Worst are fake RBL lists, criminal libelling
for profit http://berklix.org/~jhs/mail/sorbs/
I have list members who admitted incompetence to unsubscribe
majordomo, less with mailman. Worse were the lazy who refused
to learn, demanding to waste volunteer admin time for manual help.
Procmail rules discarded their noise. Worst were malicious faked
reports to black listers.
Cheers,
I do not have the entire thread here, but I have had an experience with
at&t. My e-mail address is @att.net, and I login to the web a few times
a month - once to see my bill, and maybe two times to look at my spam
folder. More than half of the time, the web site does not accept my
password, and I cannot use the "change password" link. So I call
the 800 support number and get a new temporary password. I am assuming
that one or more persons is/are trying to login to my account, and thus
my account is getting "frozen". Last Saturday night it happened, and I
called support. I was told that they could not give me a new password
over the phone; they would have to put a temporary password in the USPS
mail. This is a new policy that started a few days before mu call.
The support person to whom I talked said that at&t was trying to
block IP addresses from where these login attempts are coming. I have
no idea if this is related to the problem that started this thread.
