Orange 3g+ and email problems

I've been having some on/off smtp issues and opened some tests over the weekend. Emails can show as sent but are not received by the parties. Some include gmail/yahoo. - Some subnets are blacklisted. This led me to check further on reverses and possibly a root cause : Hostname: g-3-3-0-core-as12455.telkom.co.ke ISP: Kenyan Post & Telecommunications Company Organization: Nazarene University Proxy: None detected - Further checks on dnsbl revealed at least 4 problems. Is this Uni responsible for spam and blacklisting? Orange kenya need to isolate this problem asap.

possibly shares the same IP address with some telkom equipment, and therefore took over the network On 14/09/2009, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

Hi @Dennis, I'm just avoiding pointing any fingers thus did not comment on the subnet allocations. Hope Orange hammer it down and block the offenders until they patch end machines. Baracuda was the first to shout..... Rgds. On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

wait, is it possible For a router higher up the network to be taken over by one below it if you allocate the same ip and both are on? I thought it only occurs the other way round? On 14/09/2009, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

Thanks to Orange Engineers. Smtp is working fine now. subnet 62.24.107 is clean, different reverse network. Asante. :-)
