harristweed Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I receive, on average 200 spam emails a day. There is a commercial company spamhaus http://www.spamhaus.org/ that sell their services to ….i’m not sure who. My outgoing email is blocked by this company most of the time, which is at best very inconvenient . I have never sent spam. This company claim to be fighting spam. Their system clearly does not work but I am subject to the restriction they impose. They are a big fraud. I must admit, I am very angry and would resort to an action I would not be proud of if I met an employee of this racket. Does anyone know how I can strike back?

thehippy Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Spamhaus' DNSBL is IP based, which is a nightmare for shared host mailing services. If you have shared services, request an IP for yourself, it'll save you some hassle. A colleague of mine ended up waiting three months to get off Spamhaus' blacklist, its a bit ridiculous, but hopefully you wont have that problem. Mail DNSBL are supposed to be setup to block incoming mail, if your host/server is blocking outgoing mail its being improperly used and many false positives are a result.
