we block with manitu = nixspam as our primary RBL (followed by Spamhaus). Results are excellent. Their blocking is very reasonable. It's also possible to ask for inclusion in the whitelist. Obviously your great ISP Roadrunner isn't interested in inclusion or is sending out so many spam that they won't include it. Ask Roadrunner.
I'm sorry, nobody seems to get what I've been saying: I haven't been on roadrunner for two years. I'm sending this email via bluehost, my current hosting provider. Also, with these giant ISP/hosting services, trying to get them to do something for me, that's one vs. MegaGiantCo, w/ layers upon layers of managers and policy, is nearly impossible.
I can try emailing Bluehost, but...
Actually, Roadrunner has been known for years for big spam amounts originating from their network. I set it independently on our ACL for all mail servers years ago (not their whole IP range but all hosts matching their internet access assignment scheme).
AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE between you and manitu.net. You're not going for their whole IP range, which seems to be what manitu is doing.
So, what you ask for is supporting one of the biggest spam output machinaries (besides Chinese ISPs) on the net. Thanks, no.
Well, except that means that a lot of people are in the boat the way I would have been, had I been on this list two years ago. My choice, where I was living in Chicago, for 'Net access was a) Comcast (*GAG*), AT&T, or roadrunner. Great choice... and rr was the best, most reliable, and cheapest.
Because I'm not going to pay for colocation, or whatever.
Well, you are sending via monsterhost.com/bluehost.com which doesn't seem to belong to Roadrunner. So, what's your problem?
Again, I haven't been with rr for two years. My current hosting provider, Bluehosts, is is telling me that I was banned.
Also, again, it isn't just me. What was it, earlier this year? late last year? one or two other folks were complaining, when they could *finally* post again, that they'd been banned.
