Our system employs only the spamhaus zen rbl, which seems to be adequate for filtering our incoming email. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll remember this if we get any calls about others receiving our outgoing email.

Brian,
You are correct and I <thought> we had done so with our system,
however, I would not recommend using an RBL that may have gone zombie.
It would be better to use an RBL that is active, and if a domain has
been included, the keepers of the RBL actually respond. It is my
understanding that the spam.tqmcube.com "maintainers" are not
responding.

John:
I*m not an email admin, so don*t know what I*m talking about regarding
RBL lists. But, is it possible to keep the RBL active but whitelist
*.msu.edu? That might be a preferable option, if available.

Subject: [MSUNAG] RBL Includes msu.edu
We just corrected a problem that we were having with our email system.
We used the RBL spam.tqmcube.com to block unwanted spam systems. This
has worked fine for a very long time. Unfortunately, some (or all?)
msu.edu domains were being blocked because of spam.tqmcube.com. We
simply dropped using this RBL.
You may want to review your RBLs to see if you use spam.tqmcube.com for
your system. Also, if you are experiencing problems getting your email
to flow to non-msu domains, you might want to contact their admin to see
if they are using spam.tqmcube.com.
