Hi Stephane,

There is currently no problem with any of those addresses in the SpamCop block list

http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblo...=212.68.199.148

212.68.199.148 not listed in bl.spamcop.net

http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblo...=212.68.199.149

212.68.199.149 not listed in bl.spamcop.net

http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblo...p=212.68.227.37

212.68.227.37 not listed in bl.spamcop.net

Either your ISP has stopped the spam and got the block lifted or the addresses have timed out routinely and are clear (for the moment). Another possibility is there is another block but SpamCop is being nominated as the cause (when it isn't). In any event, your ISP is the only one who can do anything about it - it's not a mistake, your ISP's server is being rejected by another ISP because spam has been sent by someone sharing the network you use. If it really is the SpamCop list being used, you are clear now.

Hope you are clear now, if not you might need to get a free account (HotMail or Yahoo, whatever) to get your mail through in the short-term.

Google search on that phone number ... very interesting results. Primary connection seems to be GoDaddy. However, it was a bit depressing to see that there are a number of ISPs using this same sequence of data in their 'error' messages.

ISP decides to make use of the SpamCopDNSBL.

Blocks e-mail rather than the recommended Tagging/handling action.

Writes up a rejection code/message that again veers from the recommended.

So instead of receiving direction to spamcop.net, a phone number to a company that includes Domain registration as one of their services ... i

Something flawed in this logic .....

As stated above it is not currently in the Spamcop Blocklist but it is in a few others.

the most recent spam sample found on the web is from Monday:

As a GoDaddy customer, I know that they have their onw internal blocklist. It would be best if you, your ISP, or your intended correspondent (most probably a GoDaddy customer) discussed the matter with GoDaddy via that phone number or support<at>supportwebsite.com.
