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.

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.
