Road Runner Customers are being blocked from using Tinyrc.com

[Deadite]

That's right roadrunner is blocking all email from Tiny's provider. If you wanted to know if someone responded to your post you are SOL right now. The emails that are generated by the site are bounced right off the mail server. Tiny couldn't even email me

Tiny had to email me from his minizracer account to even contact me. I reported to him the bug and to my shock he told me road runner was blocking a bank of IP addresses that included Tinyrc.com and they will not unblock him. I think all of us road runner users need to call our ISP and complain about this. I'm calling road runner right now and complain.

What exactly is the problem at TinyRC's end? Does it have an open relay that Road Runner doesn't like? Many ISPs are now blocking open relays in an attempt to cut down on the floods of spam being sent to their users.

Or is TinyRC just hosted by an ISP that has spammers for other customers? If so, it shouldn't be too hard of a problem to resolve on Road Runner's end.

I'm not sure Tiny sure but if you click on the link in the qoute it says for explanation that your ISP has been involved in attacks. I assume some assholes using Tiny's provider did attack through their network so the whole network gets blocked.
