I am neither a spammer, nor in Poland but a legitimate UK business with
the same IP address for some years. Where on earth did this response come
from ? It's a bit thick to get branded as a spammer when replying to
someone from this list!
Well, if somebody trusts in RBLs and rejects mail basing only upon RBL
queries... This IP is not in Poland, even RIPE whois database would
confirm this fact. Biggest Polish ADSL provider uses some of 83.x classes,
so that could be the problem, but it's no reason for some some
dumb soul to insert whole 83.x subnet into the RBL... Maybe he should put
0.0.0.0/0 and have spam problem 'solved'. :)
