Is it my turn to notice Blackberry email not coming in? iPhones notwithstanding, I still have 3 or 4 blackberries to which I forward mail, and I have slightly over 200 messages bouncing off them. Only one or two other messages deferring outbound, so I don't think it's me. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

I sent one from my Gmail account via the app and it showed up in my att.blackberry.net mailbox. On 5/16/10, Jay R. Ashworth <jra@baylink.com> wrote:

Well, I just did a telnet test: [root@benjamin ~]# telnet mx03.bis.na.blackberry.com 25 Trying 216.9.248.34... Connected to mx03.bis.na.blackberry.com (216.9.248.34). Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. No discernable delay on close. So apparently at least *some* Blackberry incoming MXs are broke. Improperly thinking I'm on a blacklist, and dropping the connection without telling me why is a valid value for "broke". Is there a format back-end contact for RIM for such problems, anyone?

Yet it does seem that's the kind of "broke" that is occurring. I'm seeing a 100% success rate in connecting from a datacenter IP, and 100% failure rate (with the same symptoms you've described) from a cable modem IP. I believe the RIM BIS front-end boxes are IronPorts, so checking your IP's SenderBase score would be a good place to start (http://senderbase.org) Scott.

I thought I'd folo'd to the list on this, but I don't see it. I was on CBL for some reason; no other lists. I don't see any daemon spam coming out through my firewall, but, for some reason, I wasn't dropping it. I am now. Problem solved, and I've added another useful lookup tool to the outages.org dashboard; MXtools, who were nice enough to tweet about it, so, more eyeballs. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Piker. I had 238 queued by the time the CBL cleared me and RIM noticed. And I was in line at the Arby's with my phone across the restaurant on a table. Oops. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
