Seems to me that they have removal procedures on the site. First you might want to FIND OUT why your servers are listed. Are there perhaps some compromised machines forwarding mail thru your mail servers? You said: "I checked all my IPs and found so many of them listed in this list." How many mail servers do you have? Or were these not ALL mail servers? If they were not mail servers, then it sound EVEN MORE like compromised machines sending email via some bot. If its any consolation, large ISPs with millions of subscribers get blackholed there all the time, and are constantly fighting them. It seems collective punishment is politically incorrect in all areas of human discourse except fighting spam. My ISP had their primary server blackholed last week, cutting of about 75% of Alaska from sending mail to many sites. I suspect the bot nets have started relaying thru the ISPs mail systems rather than going direct, and perhaps purposely sending mail to honeypots via ISP MTAs simply to poison the blackhole lists. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
