The average user will have a dynamic IP address that, in time, will probably be (and certainly should be) included on several different lists as a flag simply that they are dynamic and should not be sending mail (etc.) direct to the internet. You haven't detailed your own situation but suspect APEWS listing could simply be ignored. IIUC they expand listings to include IP addresses that have never hit their spamtraps. You need to look at their site to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek T Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi Hussam, That IP is not, and (as far as I can tell) never has been listed in the SpamCop blocklist. Its Senderbase reputation is good and there has been only one (human) report in the last 90 days. Why did you think it might be listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farelf Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi CERIALKILLER, As the good folk at http://multirbl.valli.org/dnsbl-lookup say, "Don't worry. No one is using this block list to filter email. They do not accept solicitations for removal, so just ignore them." If you had a real problem with exploits, chances are the CBL would have picked you up before this (and given proper advice about how to get rid of them). FWIW, the following is our standard APEWS response, available for moderators' use from a single mouseclick since we've had so many worried people dropping by, down through the years ...

Farelf Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If you are no longer listed (thanks for the lookup Don) it is probably irrelevant but for future reference, everything you need to know about APEWS - and the mistaken linkage to SpamCop - is shown below. Incidentally, I've never heard of anyone coming off the APEWS list before but that DOES NOT mean that posting here achieves that. Some sources show you still on the APEWS Level 2 list - http://multirbl.valli.org/dnsbl-lookup/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.html and http://www.apews.org/?page=test&C=131&E=513201&ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - just ignore.

codeman1234 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hello Guys, first of all thanks for da support provide. The problem with confussing Apews.org with Spamcop.net is that the page of apews.org has no way to contact them, what I think is a bit ridiculous since if they put you on a blacklist that can affect your emails to gmail, hotmail or yahoo and they should give you a chance to complaint and ask why this happen but, it seems they give you no chance. Also I put on google "Apews.org forum" and spamcop comes first thats maybe the problem of this cofussion. On the other hand, I am still on apews.org, check it on their website and also blacklisted in other places and yellow and bluelisted too as seem here http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.html, the best site to find out. So, what I need to do to get completely green? Since gmail and yahoo still block my mails. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petzl Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So, what I need to do to get completely green? Since gmail and yahoo still block my mails. Thanks again Not an expert opinion only Gmail and Yahoo would not use APEWS Actually blocking email would involve their own spamtraps being hit and they would not send abuse reports Senderscore is an indicator of a "spam" rating The rating has dropped XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX : abuse[at]acens.net You sure this is not a shared IP? The senderscore appears to of gone from a very high 90+ to a very low somethings gone wrong over last day or so You may need to find out about double opt-in to create a spam free mail list. All emails have sent you a reply from a email sent to you (Weblink in email is best) confirming that they wish to receive email. All emails come wiith a genuine unsubscribe.

How can I be sure the problem is solve and the server did not got hack again, is there a way to be sure? I just want for this to be solve. Please help!
