If you are reading this web page, it is probably because you received bounced e-mail telling you that your e-mail was being rejected, and to visit the Nether.net Open Relay homepage.

The steps for removal are quite simple. Once the mail-system is determined to no longer be an open-relay, you will be removed. You will need to do a lookup query and submit the system for testing again. Testing is typically done and the relay cleared within 4-6 hours.

If you are unsure of the IP address to look up, please check the rejected e-mail message and headers for a line that looks similar to this:

550 Mail from 127.0.0.2 refused. Please refer to http://puck.nether.net/or for an explanation

The IP address you would want to check, in this case, is 127.0.0.2

If you are an administrator, and your IP is on the relay-list, please visit the removal page for further information.
