But, from what I have found on the web so far, this might be blacklisting by Akamai (which is used, among others, by Fox News). Akamai has a small javascript-driven text explaining this[1] and they provide a tool to check the "reputation"[2]. You could try this tool to see if this is indeed the problem. A couple results from other sites[3,4] have some information as well. [1] https://community.akamai.com/customers/s/article/Why-is-Akamai-blocking-me [2] https://www.akamai.com/us/en/clientrep-lookup/ (requires javascript, might show a captcha and takes some time to load the results) [3] https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/197753 [4] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15688362 -- Nuno Silva _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
