What to do if your mail is being rejected because of listing in RFC2
The first thing to realize is that RFC2 does not in itself reject your mail. The recipient to which you sent your message has rejected your message, possibly because your mail server is listed in an RFC2 list.
If you are receiving a message saying that RFC2 (rfc-clueless.org) is the reason for your rejection, you have three options:
- Use an alternative eMail address, from a different eMail provider.
- Contact the intended recipient by alternative means.
- Attempt to resolve the problem resulting in your domain's listing in the RFC2 list.
Obviously options one and two are sub-optimal, but they are probably the quickest short-term solutions. Even if you choose options one or two, it may still be a good idea to do option three as well, as this could prevent rejection from occurring again in the future.
Assuming you do not manage your own mail system, the only thing you need to do is contact the person who does, and indicate the problem that you're having (you can send them to this page). If you do not know how to contact your mail provider, you should be able to reach them by sending an eMail to the postmaster mailbox at your mail host. For instance, if your eMail address is joe@example.com, you would send an eMail to postmaster@example.com. Mail providers are required to maintain and check this eMail address.
