Sean Straw has pointed out that the problem is with 212.125.128.1
(hera.cuci.nl, or hera.x.cuci.nl) which is the highest priority mx for
procmail.org. They are apparently open to relay and and in the orbz db.
(I didn't check myself, but have no reason to question the accuracy of
Sean's legwork.)
see: http://www.orbz.org/b.php?212.125.128.1 -- it is a
multi-stage open relay -- plain as can be.
But I think the problem goes beyond that. I got the following
(excerpted) transient error from a list post on 9/22/01:
Status: 4.1.5
Remote-MTA: DNS; hera.x.cuci.nl
Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 450 4.1.5 <procmail-users(_at_)procmail(_dot_)org>...
Sorry,
headache. 198.143.217.70 see http://www.orbz.org/
Concur; I've had many bounces for the last couple of days off
btitelecom.net for several of my mailing lists. I infor that
perhaps they've a bit of email indigestion.
