I agree SPEWS is very aggressive when it comes to blocking. SPEWS likes to block adjacent netblocks in order to get legitimate customers to pressure the ISP.
To get removed from the SPEWS list it takes practically an act of God to get something removed. They say for you to post to the NANAE newsgroup, but nothing usually ever comes out of that. The moral of this story is the only option you have is to force your ISP to issue you a new set of public IP's And when Scott says you need to be "extremely polite" that is an understatement.

I haven't seen them block a Class B before, just Class Cs (where the spammer and the innocent victim each shared IPs on the same Class C). However, it is generally agreed that the SPEWS test should not be used as a spam test -- because of their approach, they list a lot of legitimate mailservers. >Does anyone have any experience with this and/or getting removed? I haven't heard of anyone getting removed, but I believe there is some ritual you can perform by going onto a newsgroup somewhere and being extremely polite... but that could just be a rumor. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
