This guide presents the operation of RBLs, the questionable policy of some of them and the means to resolve a possible email block.
Preamble
- RBLs (Realtime Blackhole Lists) or DNSBLs (DNS Black Lists) are lists containing addresses / IPs / provider names / servers, known as major spammers.
- These are often large, generalized blacklists that help identify unwanted messages and their senders, maintained by certain providers (smtpcheck, uceprotect: non-exhaustive list)…
Adding the email address to the RBL
When an email address is identified as belonging to an unwanted sender, it is blocked to prevent the receipt of unsolicited mail. A block in the RBL does not expire. Addresses will be listed indefinitely.
If you receive a message indicating that your email address is blocked by RBL, this means that Infomaniak's security system has detected suspicious or unwanted activities associated with this email address. This can include mass sending of unsolicited mail, participation in phishing campaigns or other malicious behaviors.
Resolving an email block (RBL)...
… if the error mentions your address and RBL
If you encounter errors of the type
anna.a@domain.xyz is rbl blacklisted - http://chk.me/rbl
when sending an email and you think it's a false positive, contact Infomaniak support.
To prevent your email address from being blocked by the RBL blocking system in the future, follow best practices for email use:
- Do not send unsolicited mail or mass messages to unknown recipients.
- Regularly sort the list of recipients used.
- Do not engage in phishing or cybercriminal activities.
- Ensure the highest level of security where your emails are used:
- strong password
- software up to date
- operating system (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, etc.) up to date
- associated domain configuration up to date
… if the error mentions an organization like Sorbs or Barracuda
If you encounter errors of this type
554 5.7.1 Client host blocked using sorbs
or similar:
- Follow the procedure of the mentioned organization (e.g. http://www.barracudacentral.org) to get your address removed from the list.
- Temporarily switch your Internet service provider or connection method - WIFI vs 4G/5G - to send your messages.
- Inform your contact and their email provider to take the necessary steps and/or to stop using an unreliable RBL.
- Wait a few hours and try again.
Fewer and fewer professionals (ISP, hosts, etc.) use providers like Backscatterer / UCEPROTECT which are primarily profit-driven. There are many other highly effective lists, such as ABUSIX or SPAMCOP, which are well-maintained and genuinely aimed at fighting spam, one of the priorities of Infomaniak.
This guide explains how to connect the desktop app Thunderbird (desktop application) to an email address hosted at Infomaniak.
Prerequisites
- Create the address within my kSuite or on a Service Mail (Service Mail only, or existing within a kSuite).
- Test the email password (do not confuse it with the one used to log in to the Infomaniak interface).
- Check on the Service Mail that the automatic diagnosis is correct.
Add the email address to the application
To configure the email application:
- Download the latest version of Thunderbird.
- Open the application.
- Check and complete the missing information by scrolling down if necessary.
- Click on Continue:
- The information found by Thunderbird about your email provider is displayed, leave IMAP selected:
- Click on Finish.
- In some cases, a warning about a certificate may appear. Simply confirm the security exception if the information mentions Infomaniak:
- The summary of your registration appears, click on Finish to add the address (or configure other services from there):
- There you go, your email address is now set up in the application:
Recommended settings
- Incoming IMAP server = mail.infomaniak.com
- IMAP Port = 993 (with SSL)
- Outgoing SMTP server = mail.infomaniak.com
- SMTP Port = 465 (with SSL)
- Username = the full & complete email address ( ? )
- Password = the one assigned to the email address you want to access ( ? )
- Authentication required for sending emails:
- It is activated in the SMTP settings of your application.
- Check "use the same parameters as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email client, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and its password.
Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other compatible messaging ports and protocols.
In case of trouble
⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.). Therefore, if you encounter a problem with a third-party software, contact its publisher directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.
There is no need to contact Infomaniak Support if your email address works well outside of the application. The most common error involves using an incorrect password. The troubleshooting guides help you resolve any potential issues:
- Check out the solutions provided in this other guide regarding email in general.
- This other guide is more specifically about Thunderbird.
… and if Thunderbird no longer works since a change of email password, refer to this other guide.
