I made this recipe last night and can strongly recommend it. Whack up the amount of chilli and garlic a bit though, and note the amount they specify serves quite a few.

The IP range this server resides on is now in a Spamhaus block list.

This is not because it has ever been used for spamming, but rather because 87.117.197.87 appears to belong (belonged?) to a naughty person, so spamhaus have decided to list 87.117.197.64/27.

This would not matter if Spamhaus was used sensibly, such as in a score-based system like SpamAssassin where being in the list adds to the likelihood of being a spam sender. Or in conjunction with greylisting.

Unfortunately some people treat an unaccountable remotely maintained list as gospel and bounce the mails. These people should not be allowed near live mail systems - this includes the domain registration company 1-2-3 Reg.

Update: this entry at greebo.net neatly mirrors my own experience and goes into more detail, I forgot to add that the people “running” Spamhaus are arrogant into the bargain.
