[Xastir] Message Failure

[David Ranch]

Looks like the Xastir list server uses Sorbs anti-spam RBLs, etc. and it 
looks like that IP (belongs to Yahoo) has been listed as a spammer.  
I've also been having issues with Spamcop listing Yahoo (specifically 
pacbell.net) as a spammer and I don't entirely disagree with this 
finding.  Yahoo's systems have been allowing automated spamming for 
sometime now and unless they get it under control, I think a lot of 
people are going to abandon them.

In your case, it's probably useless to try to follow the links to get 
delisted - http://www.sorbs.net/cgi-bin/support as you don't own that 
IP.  Other than Yahoo working on getting the IP de-listed (file a 
troubleticket with them to let them know this has happened), you might 
be able to get the Xastir admins to whitelist this (and other Yahoo IPs 
or the entire domain).
