That's what happens when ISP's aren't careful about what happens on their network. Getting your IP's on the black list is probably one of the worst things you can let happen as an ISP. They warn you and give you time to rectify the situation (cancel accounts/access of offenders) before they actually add you to the list, which is impossible to get removed from.
Many sysadmins rely on the black list to keep their users from getting tons of spam. It's funny to see the current list of ISP's who ignored the warnings and got added. Another example of how clueless some of these big companies really are. http://blackholes.us/ I am totally surprised to see rackspace on the list. I always thought they ran a pretty tight ship since they are probably one of the only large collo companies actually making profit. That is a drag! You shouldn't give up on the list though. It's not like php.net has anything against rackspace users. They are just one of many who make use of the blacklist. Use another email account or get a hotmail account or something. The list needs you! :-) Jim Grill Support Web-1 Hosting http://www.web-1hosting.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miguel Cruz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2002 2:24 PM Subject: [PHP] failure notice (fwd) > Is this for real?
