Hi,

I've successfully installed OpenEMM 5.0.2 on CentOS 4 without bounce management and its working good.

I've tried to send an email to about 600 email addresses and after few mins OpenEMM started sending the emails, while looking at the /var/log/maillog file, I saw that all the emails are being deferred and my IP is being reported to http://www.spamhaus.org as SPAM, atleast this is what I understand by reading following log

Looks like your IP is on a global blacklist, follow one of the links to spamhaus and you will find some possible reasons (and solutions) for your problem. These messages are generated during delivery to the destination relay.
