The very last thing you should do is try to contact any blacklist operator and try to gget them to remove the entry for your server(s) or network(s). If there's no "de-list my server" or "re-check my server" button on the main web site for a given blacklist then there's probably no mechanism, formal or otherwise, for getting de-listed (and there doesn't need to be). Your issue is with those using the blacklist to block your server(s) or network(s), not with the blacklist operator.
Actually, I would contend that. When a blacklist operator has not played Find-The-Authoritative-Database to its final conclusion, the issue _is_ with the blacklist operator in getting them to use the correct database, _not_ the blacklist user. Occasionally, the issue of educating the blacklist operator does fall to the operator of the authoritative database, and a formal contact address does indeed help with that. However, education is a two-way process, and with SPEWS intentionally being a system that you cannot contact, this tends to fall down.
Now that we've sorted out the operational procedures for dealing with these issues can we please stop all this silly whining? Thanks!
