Since you're using a filtering outbound service, I wonder if it wasn't you that was blacklisted, but the filter company and other services they all run through that same outgoing IP.
It wasn't us I said in the OP it was the cloud service. and they have a lot of IPs just a single one was blocked. we only saw two emails rejected from it.
-
@Jason Ah I must've misunderstood.
I thought one of your IP's were blacklisted.
-
Exactly - so by using an external filter caused your outage.
Do you use that filter to also keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing email?

Yes, it's an archiver too.

Not sure that really classifies as an "outage" it was only one of their many IPs on the list.. it affected all of 3 emails outbound from us.

I'm going to go all @scottalanmiller on ya - if it's not an outage, what would you call it? Sure it's a short term one, I'm not sure what else I'd call it.
How do your SPF records look? do you have dozens of IPs in there to cover all of the IPs of the cloud service?

I'm with Dustin - who blacklists someone after 3 emails, one of which was over 30 days ago.
Anyone with a zero tolerance policy. We'd blacklist for that for sure.

If the service is disrupted, it's an outage.
-
more of a delay than distruption.. the emails delivered once the blacklist was clear (or it used another IP after it failed).
-
Curious as to which spam filter service this is...
