As far as trustworthy goes, I trust osirusoft to pretty much list everyone that's questionable and all their neighbors. I don't trust it to be low collateral damage, hence I don't use them as a flat-out blocklist, and I generally assign them fewer SA points than the default.
In your case, don't email osirusoft.. you're not in the lists they directly maintain. (there are some list they directly maintain, you're not on one) Go to http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr=212.113.196.7 In specific, note: If you're not listed as a 127.0.0.2 or 127.0.0.3 please don't bother the administrator of relays.osirusoft.com You're listed 127.0.0.4, which is a composite of pretty much every blocklist out there, including high collateral damage ones. The listing is actually by spews, a list osirusoft mirrors as a part of their composite, but does not directly maintain. Spews is fairly high collateral damage, but the spews record covering your netblock is: http://spews.org/html/S1400.html Sounds like your netblock has some very unwelcome neighbors, and an ISP (primekom.de) that is unwilling or unable to disconnect them. It would appear that at least one of the unsavory spammer's servers is still hosted via primekom. mail.thebestpills.com. 86400 IN A 213.139.79.81 A quick summary of primekom's position on the spammer: >From: "Gabrielides Georg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 18:20:06 +0200 >Dear sirs, > >the problem is, that our customer is not acting against german or >european law, so it is difficult to close the domain, especially >it is not proof he is the origin of the spam. > >please tell the open-relays to close. > > >mfg >Georg Gabrielides As far as I know, pretty much the only way out of SPEWS is to post to NANAE and survive the resulting public dismantling of your claims as to why you shouldn't be listed. In this case, you'll likely have to prove that Primekom is not a spam-friendly ISP, or that your netblock is not actually handled by Primekom. This is not going to be an easy task. High collateral damage as it is, Spews takes the stand that if an ISP is knowingly hosting a spammer and is unwilling to disconnect them, the whole ISP is questionable. Of course, if the ISP really is willing to host spammers, more of them will quickly flock to their netblock. They are not likely to accept a "my ISP knowingly hosts spammers, but I'm not one" argument. Quite frankly, I'd question why I was doing business with Primekom.
