It appears that SPEWS has listed my IP in a span of IP addresses that could be a source of spam. Sven, your service appears touse SPEWS.
SPEWS refuses, according to their FAQ, to remove IPs that are listed and leaves it up to the people who are having trouble to educate there ISPs. "Q16: I'm not a spammer or spam operation... heck I hate spam, but my email is getting bounced by someone using SPEWS, or I can't access a website due to SPEWS based blocking. A16: You maybe part of the rare "inadvertent blocking" that can occur when a spam friendly provider is listed in spews. Your best option is to try and educate your provider or switch to one who is not listed in SPEWS as spam friendly. SPEWS aims to avoid listing any non-spammer or non-spam support areas if possible - we just want to stop spam." They block by spans of IP addresses. This seems a little extreme, to say the least. I couldn't find my IP address blocked anywhere else. Also, not really sure why sometimes it blocks and sometimes it doesn't. I tried to e-mail you directly, but it blocked me. >From the e-mail that bounced. Hi. This is the qmail-send program at bouncehost. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 194.23.215.6 does not like recipient.
