Dave,

I did overlook 2 messages you had sent outside our regular delist process, but the one single such message that was sent to me within the last month didn't have a subject line - unfortunately, we get a lot of noise that we have to dig through, so that one single message you sent within the last month not having a subject line didn't help.

So your most recent message to me that I had overlooked (the one without a subject line), inquired about 185.105.64.91-99

HOWEVER - what is a bit frustrating about you taking this complaint public - is that the FIRST and ONLY delist request for that range (91-99) - I think EVER - certainly for as many months as we keep records - that went through our online delist request system, following all of the instructions, didn't happen until the past 24 hours - and that only followed the instructions for one single IP - and that one single IP was delisted by our automated system within an hour of the request being submitted. So our system worked! Had you done the same for your other 7 IPs, they would have likewise received the same fast attention. (but, nevertheless, I think that one delist request triggered a chain-reaction that delisted those others anyways because...)

when I first just saw your message on MailOp about this morning - and then I checked your IPs (185.105.64.91-99) - NONE of them were blacklisted. I strongly suspect that they were ALL already delisted at the time you posted your rant to MailOp! (and I was able to scientifically determine that at least 6 of those IPs were no longer listed after that one delist request - but I think all of them were - and, again, none of them were listed at the time I check on them when I first saw your message)

The only IP on that /24 block that is currently listed by invaluement is 185.105.64.73 - and we have ZERO delist requests on file for 185.105.64.73 -  And I'm pretty sure that this has been the situation for at least the past several hours.

THEN - looking at your other message I had overlooked from over a month ago (this one was my bad - I should have seen it) - that message inquired about a large range for your "colleague's" IP space (185.105.64.2-99) - that overlaps with your IPs - I'm not sure what that means exactly - or why you would would later ask more specifically about a more narrow range - so while we were not seeing any delist requests from 185.105.64.91-99 until yesterday (just your one single out-of-band no-subject-line message I had overlooked) - in contrast, there have been multiple delist requests for the first part of that range 185.105.64.2-90  - and all I can say is that our system was extremely responsive to those - the vast majority of the time, they were delisted within 1 hour - HOWEVER: those were listed for cause - we have had a significant amount of unsolicited "cold sales call" messages from that range (for 2-90) - that were causing those listings in the first place.

ALSO: keep in mind that these two sets of IPs on that /24 block are from the SAME company - all in the same IP whois record (without ipwhois  sub-delegations) - and ALL with PTR records ending in "[.]instillerhq[.]com - so it is a bit disingenuous to argue "don't preemptively list my IPs for someone else's spam" - when that "someone else" - is actually YOU

Sorry everyone for all the noise - but please come through our front door before ranting about us not answering our back door! I know we were not perfect in this situation - but we sure do look a lot better when the rest of the story is revealed!

Hi Guys,

I've tried reaching out to Rob directly with no response.

Are there any other people on list from Invalument on list? We seem to have increasing problems with their pre-emptive block list. All of our email is sent from a single class 24 in a contiguous block of 150 IP's shared amongst many clients.

All email is GDPR EU compliant and is a mix of business to business and high volume consumer emails. I could understand some IP's getting listed on the SIP but the escalation to a /24 block is affecting all our clients.

Hopefully this statement on the website stands "invaluement does this while keeping false positives at industry-leading extremely low levels."

Cheers
