It seems these guys are a spam blocker, but they block IPs. Instead of blocking problem IPs they block entire ranges of IPs and let legit folks fight to get their IP removed from the list (like me).
I'm wondering if anyone has had a run-in with them and how I can get my IP off.
Thanks, Tom
Tom, the above is commonly known as MAPS, they are now a pay subscription RBL service. They block indv. IP's, dial-up lists (2 or 3 different RBL lists) http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/enduser.html The link above is a good place to start, has quite a bit of information. I ran their test on the neuro-logic ip and it came up clean. My guess is that someone in your network / CIDR is the spammer, and thus you are in the block list also. You should probably contact your upstream provider / send copy of blocked mail, etc. Hurricane Electric 216.218.128.0/17 perhaps. (I've had spam from the above in the past, I remember doing the lookup on Hurricane Electric) George -- Linux 2.6.1 #1 Fri Jan 16 09:28:12 EST 2004 i686 1:23pm up 1 day 22:12, 2 users, load average: 0.30, 0.16, 0.07
