I have for a long time added a reference to comodo.com as part of my email template. However, recently I am starting to get emails bounced due to the fact that I have comodo.com in my emails.

For instance today yahoo.co.uk and fsmail.net both threw back this at me : -

2.5 URIBL_SBL Contains an URL listed in the SBL blocklist
[URIs: comodo.com]

Welcom to the forum Harissa.

I just checked the SBL database and comodo.com doesn’t appear to be listed. Do you know which IP address was bounced?

Bounced from >>>> host smtp.fsmail.net [193.252.22.184]

Thanks.

Yes thats right, the ISP was originally Freeserve, then bought by Wanadoo and later rebranded as Orange in the UK >>>>> Freeserve - Wikipedia tells all.
