RE: PDL anti-spam blacklist

["Brian Taylor" <drak3 () attbi com>]

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.

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?

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.

Thanks,

John
