Organization: If you lived here, you'd be $HOME already.
Mailing lists are inherently caught in the middle of the decades-long
spam war. Sometimes, even if you do everything right, some mail
provider blacklists you for dumb or inexplicable reasons. Seems like
pacball.net recently did this to my linuxmafia.com server IP.
I may or may not get corrective action (or explanation).

Dear NOC staff:
I'm owner/operator of linuxmafia.com, IP address 96.95.217.99, and
have carefully run a clean, reputable mail operation for about forty years.
It includes GNU Mailman mailing lists, such as the one your customer
Walter Young <walyou at pacbell.net> joined. I see that your MTA is now
refusing the regular monthly password-subscription reminder to Mr.
Young (generating the non-delivery report below), and I am mystified
about why.
As I regularly do, I just checked my IP's RBL reputation at the
multi-RBL engine at https://multirbl.valli.org/ . 247 RBLs are checked.
In this case, 243 reported green (not listed), four failed to answer,
and there were no blacklistings.
Multi-RBL site https://www.dnsbl.info/ likewise reports all green.
https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx shows 82 greens and one timeout.
https://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check shows all green.
May I ask, what is the basis of AT&T / pacbell.net's refusal? Is there
a complaint? I will be glad to address & remedy any complaint I can.

Oh, and by the way, _all_ mailing list subscribers using addresses in
pacbell.net, att.net, or sbcglobal.net are currently unable to receive
their subscription mail from linuxmafia.com . On this mailing list
alone, that's five subscribers who cannot get their mail.
I'd love to let these Conspire subscribers know that their ISP AT&T
is currently shooting them in the foot -- but AT&T impliedly wouldn't
accept my mail to so advise them:
Fred Brockman <fbrock at att.net>
David Chan <bearsfo at pacbell.net>
Marianne Arkwright <mariannx at pacbell.net>
Paul Zander <pazander at pacbell.net>
Walter Young <walyou at pacbell.net>
Nor these members of the sf-lug at linuxmafia.com mailing list:
Ola Peters <opeters at pacbell.net>
Carlos <carlosmt at sbcglobal.net>
Joseph B. Puig III <jbpuig at sbcglobal.net>
lx_rudis at sbcglobal.net
Mark Vincent <vincentm at sbcglobal.net>
Folks, if you know these good people, you might want to let them know.
