What is a message 550 IP in RBL? Here's a solution!

Last week I launched a new web site for a client and had to email him over some html stationery. Sending via Outlook gave me the message "The server responded: 550 IP address 86.XX.XXX.XXX in RBL'. After consultation with my hosting provider I found that someone had labelled the ip address I was using as a source of spam.

What's the solution?
To find out why this has happened as well as how to get unblocked you first need to visit a site such as www.whatsmyip.net.

This will tell you your IP address, it will be of the form:

XX.XX.XX.XX

If you are receiving either:
550 IP in XBL,
550 IP in SBL, or
550 IP in PBL,

please go to http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/index.lasso and enter your IP address into the form.

If you are receiving either:
550 IP in SCBL or
550 IP in RBL

please go to http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml and enter your IP address.

Both of these pages will explain the reason for the black listing and they also have a "remove IP address" facility. Please note that it may take several hours for your IP address to become delisted.

Job done!!
