Hi Shawn,
You are right on target. Starting last week when we made the switch, I have
been sending every blacklist service that I can find the IP addresses of the
servers that keep the Vanagon list on the 'net.
What is interesting is that the IP address the list server has is stuck in a
weird config....kinda between blacklisted and not.
For example, if you go to the njabl.org site, it indeed lists Gerry as on
the "bad" list. But when I submit the request to have it removed, it
responds that Gerry (71.126.148.6) is *NOT* on the blacklist. Talk about
frustrating!!!
I'm still chasing down little ISP's that have outdated blacklists as well. I
can only do this for a limited amount of time each day, so progress is slow
and steady. But the good news is that the list of domains that are rejecting
us is getting smaller!
Thanks for your input,
TomC
