blacklists
If your mailer has been an open relay for some time, and particularly if it has been used by spammers, it may well be on one or more blocklist. The blocklist are a very important co-operative activity of the anti-spam community. Certain organisations or individuals maintain lists of IP addresses or address ranges and make them available in ways which enable users of the lists to reject attempted mail transfers from those addresses. Once your mailer is working properly you should check with all the lists you know and request removal if necessary.

Janet(UK) recommends that you configure your Janet access router to block connections from Janet (and the rest of the Internet) to TCP port 25 (SMTP) of almost all IP addresses in your network. The addresses of a small number of mailers which are carefully managed and are not a relaying risk can then be released from the block; for a small organisation this may be a single IP address.

Much of the required behaviour can be achieved by configuring your mail software. The details vary considerably between products and you should consult the product documentation or present your requirements very carefully to any contractors managing your mailers. It is unfortunate that in many cases the default behaviour (the way the software works as delivered or following a standard installation, upgrade or patch) is to openly relay, so you should check after making any changes.

Guests can join the videoconference by phone without needing access to videoconference facilities themselves, and without needing to be registered as users of the service. In booking the videoconference, the administrator simply selects a new guest type: “telephone (audio only)”, and enters the name and email address of the telephone participant. The telephone guest is then emailed a number to call into the videoconference.
