My old company made it onto a similar blackhole list. One of the wannabe RBL mirrors. Reason? Open relays. Fixed it, reported to em and were removed in a matter of days. YMMV, however. I feel sorry for the blokes who end up on it due to their ISP. Not a lot one can do about that, particularly if they have a mom & pop ISP like those in more rural areas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Taylor johnthedwarfat_private "Sure you can get HIV from a mosquito -- if you have unprotected sex with one!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: John Paul [mailto:jpaulat_private] Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 2:08 PM To: incidentsat_private Subject: PDL anti-spam blacklist First off, I am not a spammer, nor do I sympathize with spammers or spam. I am not dial up, nor dynamic IP'd, yet on their blacklist. I take Internet security very seriously. My personal IP range is blacklisted by these guys for some reason. Looks like the PDL is somehow "enforcing" my ISP's TOS and/or AUP, go figure... #1 Has anyone else run into this "service"? #2 Has anyone successfully had themselves removed from the list? If so, was the process like bad dental work? http://www.pan-am.ca/pdl/ Please understand I have not taken the time to verify the entire list as dial-up vs. not dial-up, I have better things to do than check the PDL's work. This is not intended to be the start of yet another un-ending philosophical debate on spam blockage.
