Hi,
Just over two weeks since I found myself on Microsoft's blocklist and
was manually removed, I find myself back on their blocklist again.
Possibly coincidentally, this morning MXToolbox informed me that Linode
has apparently found itself back on Uceprotectl3. Does anyone know if
Microsoft considers that particular blacklist when deciding to blocklist
an IP? Naturally, I've submitted a deliverability support ticket, and
will probably have to wait several hours for the result.
Uceprotectl3 and Uceprotectl2 are not respected blacklists. Many people
view them as extortion. Microsoft does not use them (pretty much no one
does). I have a server that's on Uceprotectl3 and periodically is on
Uceprotectl2 and Microsoft is not blocking it.
As always, I'm not doing anything wrong (that I know of at least). Even
if someone had hacked my server, my hypothesis is that they'd have to be
a very careful and methodical hacker if their aim were to get me
blocklisted by Microsoft and only Microsoft. If my server were spewing
out spam, I ought to be hitting Spamhaus/SORBS/etc. spam traps left and
right. Trust me, one time I was hacked, my server was sending out spam
and I didn't know it, and I quickly found myself on Spamhaus XBL.
Any thoughts?
Dealing with Microsoft blocks is always a pain. It requires patience and
persistence, but if you persevere, they will eventually unblock you.
