dsbl.org is an Internet based organization that blacklists IP addresses that are found to be allowing anonymous relaying of email messages. Anonymous relays are one of the most common ways in which email spammers send large quantities of email and disguise it so that it looks like it's coming from a different source than the real source. Organizations like dsbl.org are attempting to help eliminate spamming by providing lists of open relay servers. There's a lot of controversy about this, andit's not that hard to get listed even though you're not actually spamming anyone yourself. However, lots of us (I'm including myself) use these lists in an attempt to cut down on the amount of spam that clogs up corporate email servers.

Once you're listed, the only way to get yourself off the list is to make sure you have fixed the cause by closing any possibility that your own server is providing anonymous relaying, and then going to the org's web site - in your case, it's www.dsbl.org - and following their directions on how to get unlisted.

Even though your routing tab may have "Do not reroute incoming mail" selected, this does NOT prevent anonymous relaying - this is a known hole in Exchange 5.5 security. To make sure you don't have an open relay situation, in Exchange 5.5:

1. Open the Administrator program;
2. Open the Internet Mail connector, go to the Routing tab;
3. Select Reroute mail to, make sure SMTP is listed with your domain name;
4. Click the "Routing Restrictions" button, and then make sure that the first radio button (I think it says something about authenticated hosts only) is selected.

Hope this helps!
