The only problem is that we are cannot contact anyone at Perl.com, O`REILLY or PerlPorters, bacause of our mails recognized as "spam domains".
Hope this message will help, because we need to discuss some important question about licensing, copyrights and Perl sources.
Thank you.
Sincerely your, Alexander S. Tereschenko

I normally wouldn't post personal ads here, but I think the topic of translation is interesting.
Are you referring to the RBL? What is your domain? Why is it listed? What is the administrator's address? This would help... you could get readers to politely email him and ask him to disable relaying or whatever the problem is.
Actually I would suggest that the problem is the free account - a lot of people block those simply because people use the throwaway accounts to spam from
Wouldnt it be be better to contact the authors of the documentation in question directly - much of the stuff in the distribution is copyright of the author and much of it has a notice which would indicate the terms under which it can be used
I would guess that anything that doesnt have an explicit copyright statement is covered by the licenses that apply to Perl.
My mail is: tereschenko@bigfoot.com (it is just redirect so it cannot be real spam domain).
The thing is that some spam filters use the From: address rather than the envelope from address and so if you have an address that might be considered a source of spam it will be filtered irrespective of where you actually sent the mail from.
Of course people use a whole variety of methods for stomping spam - the RBL as referred to before or DUL both of which can be read about at http://www.mail-abuse.org. You might also see Mark-Jason Dominus' Article which describes other methods that people use to trap spam.
