Spamcop blocking Gmail

Anyone else seeing Spamcop used to deny email from Gmail? This is killing me. Here are two recent examples:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

     snort-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Technical details of permanent failure: 
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550
 See http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml for more information."

The second problem:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    obscured@obscured.obs

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 10): 554 Service unavailable;
 Client host [64.233.162.202] blocked using bl.spamcop.net;
 Blocked - see http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?64.233.162.202

Is anyone else seeing this?

I've seen this when posting to lists.sourceforge.net (specifically NET-SNMP's mailing list)...

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Technical details of permanent failure:
TEMP_FAILURE: Too many connections to lists.sourceforge.net

My msg failed for a different reason but curious nonetheless. For your message Spamcop says:

cannot find an mx for zproxy.gmail.com
64.233.163.27 is an mx ( 5 ) for gmail.com

Looks like those DNS problems at google aren't over yet. Ahhh growing pains... we all have em.

I'm experiencing the same problem, although I didn't know it was because of spamcop until I read your blog today. I had to use other my other email account to get any emails through.

Have found that I get this notice when an email address has a mismatch in email address that includes a capital letter and lower case letters. When I change the address to all lower case or all upper case the email goes through.

Zeek in Action Videos

This is a quick note to point blog readers to my Zeek in Action YouTube video series for the Zeek network security monitoring project .  Each video addresses a topic that I think might be of interest to people trying to understand their network using Zeek and adjacent tools and approaches, like Suricata, Wireshark, and so on.  I am especially pleased with Video 6 on monitoring wireless networks . It took me several weeks to research material for this video. I had to buy new hardware and experiment with a Linux distro that I had not used before -- Parrot .  Please like and subscribe, and let me know if there is a topic you think might make a good video.

MITRE ATT&CK Tactics Are Not Tactics

Image
Just what are "tactics"? Introduction MITRE ATT&CK  is a great resource, but something about it has bothered me since I first heard about it several years ago. It's a minor point, but I wanted to document it in case it confuses anyone else. The MITRE ATT&CK Design and Philosophy document from March 2020 says the following: At a high-level, ATT&CK is a behavioral model that consists of the following core components: • Tactics, denoting short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack; • Techniques, describing the means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals; • Sub-techniques, describing more specific means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals at a lower level than techniques; and • Documented adversary usage of techniques, their procedures, and other metadata. My concern is with MITRE's definition of "tactics" as "short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack," which is oddly recursive. The key word in the tacti...

  I've completed the TaoSecurity Blog book series . The new book is  The Best of TaoSecurity Blog, Volume 4: Beyond the Blog with Articles, Testimony, and Scholarship .  It's available now for Kindle , and I'm working on the print edition.  I'm running a 50% off promo on Volumes 1-3 on Kindle through midnight 20 April.
