    Good day DP members,

    This time I really-really-really need your help!

    Has anyone had some problems or issues with Spamhaus? What do you know about getting out from their lists? What do you know about spamhaus's owners? I need all info you can tell me, I need as many opinions as possible, please! Also, maybe someone can help to get out from their blacklists. We are stable and respected comapny with more than 10 years of experience, and we found our IPs and names there. Other companies with similar activity arent listed there, but we are, and it's very sad, cause we have all sertificates, contracts, any kind of "papers" and so on, I mean - really stable and respected company! I really need your advice and help! Guys, please!

    My understanding is that Spamhaus runs a well-respected anti-spam blocklist. What

    Did you go to the Spamhaus web site? Why does it say is your IP is blocked? It doesn't really matter if your company is "stable and respected", it only matters whether you have been spamming or supporting spam in some way.

    Here is there listing criteria:
    If your business does not fall under any of those categories, just follow the delisting procedure:

    Follow what Nonny has said.

    Spamhaus is reliable. You must've done something bad to be blacklisted.

    You don't get on spamhaus for nothing, something must have been done to get there.

    I "met" the founder of Spamhaus probably 15 years ago now. He is one of the Best Guys of the Internet, if there is such a category.

    Follow the instructions to get delisted.

    Spamhaus are a well-respected company in their respective field.

    You best take it up with them if you think you are a miscarriage of justice

    I recently had a lot of problems with the domain hackneysolidarity.info

    It's a community site, but somehow the registrars for info domains thought it was a spamming site... this was based upon one complete legit newsletter that was sent. Apparently, the "hack" in the domain name title cause the grief. :rolleyes:

    Here is some simple logic for you.

    Anything that ends with haus = stupid

    fraghaus
    spamhaus
    urmomshaus

    Spamhaus is not legit, they need to be shut down. Good luck getting simple OUTLOOK e-mail to work on dynamic ip's.

    Buy a static IP business comcast account ok 120 bucks a month? 200 a month for a static ip + e-mail hosting to set up outlook at home now.

    You know gmail is the last free e-mail provider that lets you set up outlook correctly following spamhaus instructions for dynamic e-mail config? Even paid hosts like low level go daddy plans disallow you from using outlook on dynamic ips at home now.

    Guess what this is in conjunction with microsoft, qwest, comcast, spamhaus and many other companies.

    They are all full of shit. Their numbers are inflated, they waste tons of money on software that doesnt work, they take IT jobs from us and dont actually accomplish their mission.

    Spamhaus doesnt block any spam, they just block legit peoples e-mail.

    Guess how many home businesses are screwed right now? All of em. You get to now pay 200 bucks a month for premium static ip + e-mail hosting when before it was free.

    You people are such idiots saying these guys are legit, they are simply stealing tons of jobs from us and wasting money, screwing your business.

    I hate you follower Internet zombies and I hate fraghaus, microsoft wastes money and doesnt employ ANYONE except a bunch of low pay nothing sell vista for 10 bucks an hour customer service worthless jobs that you cant live on then says they employ SOOOooo many people

    Oh and other peoples say, "oh you can fix this dynamic ip blocking by |INSERT STUPID TECH DESCRIPTION HERE|" Well they are simply talking about proxies, cool now I get to set up and configure proxy routes for my simple e-mail at my house on outlook or pay 100's a month. Some people cant configure this stuff correctly either and get help then told to buy static ip by you idiots to sell a hand made quilted FRAKING doily online so grandma can make an extra 80 bucks a month with her home business to get diabetes medication for the GOD DAMN Fat diabetic cat with thyroid problems!!! This is all because stupid euro company with bad teeth and a fake tan who cares about the USA less than bush does but says oh im a euro i can talk crap about America and smash their economy in conjunction with microsuck the most evil software company ever who makes you pay a lot for nothing, guess what pathetic nothings!!! linux is better and runs games fine NOOBS!! RWAAAARRRR my Euro breath smells and we wear Canadian tuxedos.
