Fixed. Sorry about that Michael. I had an old pcre that checked the SMTP
client rDNS host name against a bunch of ccTLDs I received spam from some time
ago. I forgot to disable it when I moved to a much more effective and a bit
more sane anti-spam configuration. I'm surprised someone such as yourself
hadn't tripped this before now with all the lists I subscribe to.
That said, I do still block some entire countries' IP space using ipdeny.com
info, such as China, Russia, Korea, Malaysia, and a handful of others from
which I'll likely never receive legit mail. I might from Russia due to some
of my list memberships.
The "Reply-to-list" option in one's MUA is one's friend. Reply-all causes
rows like this and just duplicates messages needlessly. There are times when
a reply-all is needed, but usually that's not the case. Only when non-list
members are CC'd in a thread do I hit the "reply-all" button.
Anyway, enough about mail management and my somewhat draconian anti-spam
policies. ;)
