Hi all. Im running hMailServer. Its seems great. However i have been blacklisted at one of the blacklisting sites. I tried to install Spam Assasin but was too complicated for my none programmer brain to understand. I followed the instructions to the letter but got lost later in the instructions as it seemed to be for older systems.??? I dont know about that but i have all sorts of files and folders on my c drive now just messin up the place including ASSP. Tried that too but that seems to complicated. Does anyone know of an alternative to these spam fighters or can show me how to install the modules etc needed for each of the above mentioned scripts.? Id sooner stay away from perl to solve this problem as its too indepth for my brain to handle.??

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thanks And Good Luck with it all. etc....

If you are hosting on your broadband then you will always be black listed. I had exactly the same problem. Its virtually impossible to host an e-mail server on your broadband that works.

1. You need rDNS that can be configured to make your ip lookup to your domain
2. You need a static IP

Ok, so your saying i dont need spam assasin. Simple DNS is configured so my ip is my domain.

I dont quite understand the answer, i have a satatic IP (5), theyre configured so my domain points to my ip address/s. i dont now but used to get loads of blak emails with well you know nob like names.???

I dont actually receive any blank emails now but the last time i checked my domain it said that it was being used as a relay, or can be used as a relay for spammers. is there a way to stop it being congured in that way. i have mx, A, records set up etc.
