Our ISP has fallen victim to spammers. just to be clear, a spammer has taken up residence on one of our ISP's IP addresses, but, and thsi is the ironic part, is prevented by the various ISP services from spamming. That's the good news.
The bad news is that the entire subnet (Range of IP addresses) owned by our ISP has been blacklisted by SPEWS because of this. SPEWS is not amenable to requests by any party except the ISP to remove blacklisting, so please don't go yelling to any SPEWS newsgroups about this. It will serve no purpose at all except to piss them off and make matters worse.
SPEWS insists that the ISP removes the spammer (who is not spamming) from their servers in order for the block to be lifted. If they do not then they are "offering services to spammers" and are thus declared to be bad.
The reason for this message?
I have no ther way of contacting people who are the other side of the email blacklist to tell them why they have not been receiving emails from me. If you are receiving emails then you are not affected. If you are not receiving emails please change your email address and let the mailing list know by subscribing the new address
Currently affected email domains are: libero.it, inwind.it, wind.it. I have made successful local requests to support desks at other ISPs for our IP address to be whitelisted. I am grateful to their administrators (especially to Outblaze, who are huge email providers) for their help here.
I am using the home page to list current email blackspots in the mailing list section
