Then your computer or network IP is listed on one of the three internet blacklist due to spamming:

RELAYS.ORDB.ORG
SBL-XBL.SPAMHAUS.ORG
BL.SPAMCOP.NET

You can get your IP address by going to the following website address:

http://www.whatismyip.com

Then go to dnsstuff.com at:

http://www.dnsstuff.com

and enter your IP in the Spam database lookup field then click on Lookup.

You should look for items in Red but specifically
RELAYS.ORDB.ORG
SBL-XBL.SPAMHAUS.ORG
BL.SPAMCOP.NET

You will need to submit your IP address for removal to each of the blacklists you are on. Please note that by being on the world wide blacklists, your emails may be deleted by other internet service providers.

HostPC can not help you with this. We do not assign your IP address - they're provided by whoever you use to access the internet (AOL, Earthlink, Comcast, local provider, etc).

This a problem that seems to come and go. I have had emails to my domain here (on www24) bounce from time to time for several months. I have only seen email from gmail and yahoogroups bounce. I have tried but I can not make sense of it.

I just did a test where I sent an email from my gmail account. The email was addressed to three email accounts on domain here... all three on the same domain. It bounced back from two of them but got through to one of the accounts. How strange is that? I then tried it again a few times and it bounced back from all three accounts. I get the same result (a 550 Administrative prohibition bounce) when the email is addressed to an individual address here.

Here is the bounce message that went back to Gmail. The email addresses and domain names have been changed to protect the innocent:

I still can not figure this out. If this is bouncing because of a blacklisting of an IP address, why did the same email message get through to one of the addresses on the "to:" line but bounce from the other two... from the same domain.

[dbmasters]

So any word on this ever getting fixed? It's REALLY starting to get frustrating.

i've recently been getting this error. Any other suggestions? The links above didnt really helpout with my personal situation. It seems as though it is only with one of my e-mail addresses on my domain hosted with HOSTPC. The other e-mail addresses hosted with HOSTPC *SEEM* to be okay.

same "PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 Administrative prohibition" error. The funny thing is... I NEVER get any spam on this e-mail address.

[jkersenbr]

I know Joe and the HostPC folks are working on the fix, but thought I should let you know that I am getting this message and have researched my IP address and it is NOT listed in any of the blacklists.

Therefore, I'm not so sure that submitting your IP to have it removed from the blacklists will accomplish anything.

Just a thought.
