How to report a message as SPAM or NOT SPAM on RightMail Standard solution ?

First you should know that

1. Anyone you email will never have a message blocked (or in other words, anyone you email will go on whitelist ).
2. Never email a spammer — you validate their address authorizing them to spam you.
3. Don’t forward spam — it makes the spam filter think we like it.
4. Report spam by forwarding it to the asspspam@yourdomain.com address (read below for more info).
5. If you become aware that mail you want is being blocked send the sender an email so their mail isn’t blocked any more , or you can send an email to asspwhite@yourdomain.com and put the sender email in the body of your email.

How to report SPAM

When you receive a SPAM message you have a choice to either just delete it and move on, or report it to our mail server to improve its antispam performance. To report the spam message select the message in your inbox, right-click and select “Forward as attachment.” or simply “Forward” if your email software doesn’t support “Forward as attachment” . Address it to asspspam@yourdomain.com and click SEND. Done , you have reported the spam message.

How to report a false positive email

If you see a valid message on your spambox@ pop3 or /spambox imap folder (if your server administrator activated the SPAMBOX@ plugin ) , you can report this message to our Mail server as valid email . To report the message select the message in your inbox, right-click and select “Forward as attachment.” (If your email software doesn’t support “Forward as attachment” simply forward the mail.) Address it to asspnotspam@yourdomain.com and click send. In a short time you will receive an email confirmation . Or you can also REPLY the message (not spam, false positive) who are getting mail with the subject [ SPAM ]. This will add their addresses to the server WHITELIST and their mail won’t be blocked any more.

How to report a valid email (whitelisting)

You can report valid email addresses to asspwhite@yourdomain.com . You can either put the addresses in the body of the message, or as recipients of the message. If you want to add all the addresses in your valid address book to the whitelist, create an email and put your entire address book in the body section of the message and send it to to asspwhite@yourdomain.com . You may read the documentation for more info.

SMTP Error: 0x800ccc6f. The server response was 554 5.7.1 PB error

The error indicates the PB error which comes only when the server detects some kind of mail spoofing attempt from the sender in simple words if the server is hosting a domain and someone else is sending the mails with the same domain but not using the smtp of the server it would be treated as a spoofing attempt and hence the server rejects it.

Their are two ways to solve this :

1) You use our SMTP in your dotnet application with the authentication and it would work.
2) if you want to use your own smtp then let us know the fixed IP of your smtp service and we’ll whitelist this IP on our server so that you may start getting mails from this IP.
