outgoing mail to IBM marked as SPAM (confirmed)

9.104-17

Started this morning.  Any mail that any internal user sends to us.ibm.com is coming back immediately as undeliverable.  I looked in the SMTP log and it shows  rejected from our exchange server to us.ibm.com for reason SPAM (confirmed).

How can I get more info like why it's confirmed spam?

It was like this for about 2 hours, then suddenly they started going through again.

Ideas?

  • ctasd reports 'Confirmed' is what I was looking for, and I see now that your original email had that information in it, but I didn't read it closely enough.  If you look in the file above the first line here, you'll see something like "RefID:str=0001.0A010208.520A6F45.0035,ss=1,re=0.000,recu=0.000,reip=0.000,cl=1,cld=1,fgs=0".  That was sent to CommTouch, and they reported a match with known spam.  After awhile, their system corrected itself.

    When one sees this, it's possible to get the situation cleared more quickly by selecting the emails on the 'SMTP Quarantine' tab and using the 'Release and report as false positive' selection.
