I sent an email last Monday (2/27/12) to a rather large email group that consists of people who have given permission to be included on this list. I received the "undelivered mail" notices to all addresses on the Knology server. After a week of working with my ISP as well as Knology, all they can tell me is that Spamhaus.org has blocked me. I downloaded Stinger as directed on Spamhaus and ran it with no obvious infections.

I know I'm supposed to post my results from OTL but it keeps hanging up each time I run it and it becomes non-responsive. I am posting my results from aswMRB and Security Check. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am currently unable to send messages to the majority of my email contacts.

Hi there dublin1062!

I am Gabethebabe and I will be helping you with this issue. Before we start some general remarks/rules:
  • Whilst I´m helping you, please follow my instructions carefully and do not experiment on your own or accept help from other persons.
  • Feel free to ask questions! Especially if my instructions are not clear. I´m here to help, not confuse you.
  • I will try and respond quickly, but please understand I do have a real life (job, wife, 3 kids, kinky hobbies).
  • Stick with me till the end. If your computer starts running better, doesn´t mean it is clean yet!

====================

Time to use ComboFix by sUBs, a powerful tool that you are advised not to run without supervision of a trained malware helper. Please visit this webpage and read the tutorial on using ComboFix very carefully. After that download the tool and save it to your desktop.

Doubleclick ComboFix.exe to run the tool. Please post its log back here.

Thanks for responding - couple of questions before I run ComboFix. From what I read on Spamhaus.org, I wonder if it's my ISP that is listed in the CBP rather than me. I say that because I don't get an immediate pop-up but a returned email after my emails have been sent. Is it indeed possible that this isn't an issue in my computer?

Second, I am in the process of backing up my computer with CrashPlan - do I need to suspend that backup?

Thanks!

UPDATE...after having a VERY serious conversation with my ISP tech support this morning in which I quoted the Spamhaus.org verbiage on the possibility that it was my ISP rather than my individual email, I have now been able to send emails to two different Knology customers without the undelivered message.

Holding my breath that this is resolved...

Backing up data is always a good idea. So many data losses could have been prevented by taking the time to do just that.

Just a follow-up and to let you know that we can close this thread - it has been determined that it IS my ISP that has been blocked, and not that I have an problem on my end. As always, thanks for the prompt reply and offer to help - GeekPolice is the best!
