Wow, feel the love.  YourMaine is not listed, the range of IPs that it resides in is, that's what this thread is about.    YourMaine is a community site I built a couple years ago and just use the email address out of habit.  YourMaine DOESN'T spam, period.  The only lists that YourMaine has are a list you have to signup for and can remove yourself at anytime and a list we use once in a while to give away things like free whitewater rafting or winter skiing trips, oh, and a daily weather report emailed to you if you sign up, and of course you can sign off anytime.   YourMaine's IP address just changed to a completely different C class (the other side of the country) a few days ago.  Let's look at the 53.43.28.66.relays.osirusoft.com:   relays.osirusoft.com - Spew Listed, that's why I started this thread. xbl.selwerd.cx - XBL Listed, enough said spews.relays.osirusoft.com - Spews, Again   So it's all XBL and Spews, both irresponsible blacklists that you do a dis-service to your clients by using, IMHO.   Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Leske To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 3:10 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Help with getting unlisted on anti-spam DB We Block the whole range of ip's too... and yourmain.com is listed in the spam database at 53.43.28.66.relays.osirusoft.com as a know spammer; so until yourmain.com has a differnet ip address or they get taken off thier list they will continue to be bounced to the ole trash can.   ~Rick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 12:21 PM - MGMT.TV To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Help with getting unlisted on anti-spam DB Hi Everyone,   We just moved to a new provider this month and have found ourselves listed in the SPEWS, XBL, and spews.relays.osirusoft.com lists due to some idiot who uses the same provider and that sent a bunch of spam a while back.  It looks like the osirusoft.com list is a duplicate of the SPEWS list.   I've talked to our provider and they claim to have removed the offending content and have been able to get themselves removed from all the other lists that they were in due to this guy, but they said that they have been trying for months to get removed from the SPEWS list with no luck or response.  I've sent a message to the news group that the SPEWS site says to, but I'm not holding my breath.   It seems that SPEWS doesn't bother blocking the offending IP, they just block the whole darn range!  Does anyone else have a problem with this?  I mean this idiot has like 5 IPs, but they block the whole 66.28.43.0/255 range with no regard for anyone else.   To me, this is the worse kind of spam police tactics, more like spam stormtroopers.  Don't get me wrong, I HATE spam, especially the porn kind that my kids get!  But to block everyone because of what one idiot did is just plain WRONG.   Do a lot of you use SPEWS?  If so, why would you use a service that blocks 99% legit email because of 1% of abuse from a different IP?   Thanks,   Mike Achenbach
