Why Am I Blocked? Probable Causes

If your email has suddenly been blocked by the SpamCop blocklist, it is probably because you share an IP address with other email users and there is someone who:

• is using auto-responses (such as Out-of-Office/Vacation notices, virus notifications, and 'bounces' created after accepting the email) that are replying to spam with forged spamtrap email addresses;
• has a computer with a virus that sends spam without the owner's knowledge;
• has a computer that has been compromised and spammers are remotely controlling it to transmit their spew;
• is sending unsolicited emails and your internet service provider is allowing it;
• or because, as in all systems, there may have been a mistake (very rare).

The SpamCop blocklist listing will expire automatically within a specific period of time based primarily on when the last spam came from that IP address. See SpamCop Official FAQ on Blocklist∞ for more information on the SpamCop blocklist.

Please note the following:

If you are planning to ask for help in the SpamCopNewsgroups or SpamCopForum, you need to provide the following information.

- IP address of the machine that you think is blocked
- rejection message that you have received

This information will help others to narrow down your problem and help you better.
