I think the main problem is the email forwarding we provide for people, which ends up forwarding spam in some cases and that triggers Earthlink to block us as they think we're either spammers or an open relay.

I've been pondering maybe doing all of our mail forwarding from one set of IPs and having the mail that comes "from Dreamwidth" happen from an entirely different set. That way at least our mail will still get through.

This assumes forwarding is the problem, too, and it may not be. It could be when someone comments with spam, and we email out that comment (containing spam) ...

Email is so annoying, heh.
