You use Savvis, you keep getting blacklisted, and you posted anonymously.

are hosting quite a few notorious spammers.

Time to find another domain host. Or if you are representing
savvis.net, then you need to stop hosting spammers. Take a
look at the SBL - your provider has 41 entries, including
Scott Richter's company, OptInRealBig. Here's what they
have to say:

said by Spamhaus.org:
"Found 41 SBL listings for IPs under the responsibility of savvis.net"


14 of those are ROKSO entries. That is a serious sign of
trouble. Need more evidence? Google Groups for NANAS and
savvis.net:

»groups-beta.google.com/group/new···is+group

And there's this from one of our Stopping Spam forum
regulars back in October, who says that savvis.net seems
to be signing up new ROKSO spammers:

»Savvis.net spamhaus to nuke spammers

Their blacklisting methods are a bit rough. I have a mailing list on one of my sites that users sign up to that sends no spam or advertisements or anything else, just site news, and someone labelled one of the messages as SPAM and they blacklisted the entire server. Mind you the list has been around for about 5 years (users subscribing and unsubscribing) and is still less than 10,000 users. Mail is sent to the list once a week and it still got hit by AOL. Even if it was SPAM, that type of blacklisting is a bit extreme I would think.

Anyway, SPAM still does get through, but if I had to guess on a percentage, I would say about 20% of my email is SPAM, where it used to be closer to 50-60%.

If users are getting all mail blocked, chances are they checked the box to "Block all except these addresses" option, or have altered another setting to muck it up.

Compared to my Optimuum Online email account, AOL definitely does a better job.

Everytime, you have to open a new case with AOL and be added to the whitelist. But the stupid thing is that they don't tell you that you have been removed from the whitelist and put in their spam list so the process begins again. This is just nonsense. My company is a 2 Billion dollar company and we get put on their spam list so that someone can't send emails to their buddies and they complain. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12223966 Mon, 27 Dec 2004 12:55:39 EDT Re: And what are the casualties? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12223929 bren9474 : Having millions of e mail addresses stolen is a great way to reduce spam! It's only a matter of time before employees of other ISP's do the same, to reduce spam of course! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12223929 Mon, 27 Dec 2004 12:51:03 EDT Re: And what are the casualties? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12223920 dadkins :

As in, how much legitimate mail was blocked in order to block "more" spam? I always hear of people on AOL not receiving legit mail from people because their spam filters block it.
Same here! A friend uses AOL, and their "New" spam blocking "tool" was not allowing *ANY* email to be delivered!
Yeah, I guess that would cut down on spam... :uhh:
