Hi All,

A little OT, but there are some CRT folks on this list.

I am working on a Hallicrafters SP-44 Skyrider Panadapter. I have done a
recap/re-resistor job on it. The CRT display isn't quite right, the
baseline is uneven in width, about right on the left but too wide on the
right. If anyone has some insight as to what could be causing it, I
would be very appreciative.

PLEASE REPLY OFF LIST : jpeakall AT madlabs DOT info

Many thanks folks!

Jonathan

'Medlabs' was a typo on my part just now in that last message. I had been sending to 'madlabs' all along with no luck, always rejected.  Sent to JPEA...@MADLABS.INFO    again just now.  Rejected again on the second go round. Here is a partial copy of the message that I'm getting,   Ira

jpea...@madlabs.info (after RCPT TO): 554 BLK_SYS_15 IP Address (69.168.97.48) of the sender was found in DNSBL MailSpike-BL-W and was therefore refused.

Ira:

 

Based on your snippit, the problem is at your end. The IP of the machine you’re sending it from is on a “Blacklist” (DNSBL MailSpike-BL-W) and thus the recipient’s mail server is rejecting any message outright without regards to the recipient’s email address.

 

I checked myself, and that IP is on no less than 3 blacklists: http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3a69.168.97.48&run=toolpage

 

The reason for this is typically that IP has been reported for sending out SPAM.  It can be from a compromised PC, someone sending out mail to a distribution list where a recipient reported the email as unwanted, or problems with an email server that is openly relaying SPAM from others.

 

If this is a business (which it appears so) then your IT person should get involved.  It is a shared 3rd party hosting, you should alert them to this situation and request your hosting be moved to a different IP.

    Hello Steve, Thanks for that. I'm not sure what to make of it. Since Monday, I've sent out 65 replies to various incoming emails, with no problems or issues. I'm NOT very computer savvy to be honest with you, especially the internal workings of the internet. I'm not even sure what an I.P. actually is. I can tell you that this computer of mine is a Windows XP based P.C. here at my home. It is my one and only computer and I've been using it for over ten years now, with very few issues. I'm using Hughes Net satellite service (Directway) for my internet connection. With NO ONE else on that connection. If you can make any suggestions as to what I can/should do, please do let me know. I have no IT person here. No one else uses this computer or connection but me.  Thanks again for letting me know. 

    I had made a phone call recently to ESET regarding my virus protection software, and the call was unknowingly to me, redirected to a third party service company instead of ESET. They gained access to my computer to try and help me with an issue, and wanted to charge me a ton of money to do it. I asked them why it wasn't going to be covered by my virus subscription with them and he told me that they were not ESET but a third party help line. I immediately turned off my computer, and said no thanks and good bye to him. Left it off for about thirty minutes. Came back later, fired it up and all seems well. I don't notice any issues from here. I wonder if they did this?  If we can ever get to communicate normally through the email system, I may be able to shed some light on your 2AP1 CRT issue.   Thanks for any help or suggestions, Ira.

If they gained access to your computer you should really try to get some help from someone who knows how to revert that! Did they ask you to enable access to your computer or did they have access without you changing anything? If you changed something like remote access or if you installed a program from a webpage that they asked you to go to you should disable remote access and uninstall that software. When you have done so you should run an anitvirus/antimalware scan on your computer but you should really make a backup of all of your important files so you don't end up with a ransomware encrypting all your files!

Not wanting to stray this far off topic but that is saying that the
destination e-mail server thinks that the sending mail server is on a
spam blacklist. 69.168.97.48 is the sending IP adddress and it appears
to be from an ISP in Buffalo NY called Synacor using a server called
smtp.hughes.net

perhaps IRA has to get his Internet provider to get the address taken
off the blacklist.

the blacklist seems to be run by http://mailspike.org/

there tools show :
Matches found for 69.168.97.48 (smtp.hughes.net)

Worst possible reputation
Worst possible reputation

I did submit a delist request to try to open that blacklist up FWIW. so
try again. But if one of the ISP's other customers is sending spam it
will close up quickly.

Ira –

Emailed you off-list some more detailed instructions. Feel free to reply direct to me as I don’t wish to turn a nice Glowing Displays forum into a Malware eradication discussion.
