RE: Contact for APEWS.org?
APEWS is braindead in execution, if not in fact. They list about half of all IPv4 space, and one might reasonably state that anyone using them deserves their own self-inflicted SMTP intranet. http://www.dnsbl.com/2007/08/apews-news-and-commentary-roundup.html Andrew The link Andrew sent over contains some great advice - make sure to read through to: http://www.dnsbl.com/2007/08/what-to-do-if-you-are-listed-on-apews.html
Contact for APEWS.org?
We've been advised by a client that they're incorrectly listing a /15. The listing is: (E-431420) 96.44.0.0/15 According to their FAQ they only take delistings via newsgroups and Google News isn't co-operating with me in regards to them. Meanwhilst we're affected with our range 96.44.128.0/18. -- Kate QuadraNet, Inc 530 W 6th Street #901 Los Angeles, CA 90014 k...@quadranet.com

Kate, It is unlikely you will find a direct contact for APEWS - your best bet is to get access to usenet through one of the Usenet providers or even through aioe or eternal-september. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org/ http://www.ahbl.org

Nobody has ever heard of any network using APEWS so your client can not possibly be experiencing any mail issue due to any APEWS listing. Your client has simply looked up their IP address on some advert-laden check your IP against a gazillion blacklists website which happily reports every IP is 'listed' somewhere without mentioning that half the lists it checked against are not used by anyone except the kid running it.

Nobody in their right mind uses APEWS when there are more legitimate DNSBLs around like Spamhaus, AHBL, DroneBL, etc. Your client is unlikely having any problem with this listing. But, if you really want to bother, my advice is get a Supernews account and go for it. William

William Most likely, given the toxic environment on USENET's NANAE, you'll simply be derided, mocked, or harassed by the inhabitants there instead of getting any sort of valid de-listing advice.

Re: Contact for APEWS.org?
Nobody with half a brain uses it, especially not on a production network rather than man, his girlfriend and the family dog running a linux box on a dsl line Ignore would be the best advice.
