My IP is Blacklisted for e-mailing WA invites!

Well this is a new twist. I have been having trouble sending e-mails from my computer outlook program for several days. I trouble shot my system for two days trying to discover the problem. My IP address was blacklisted and blocked by b.barracudacentral.org. This I discovered when after taking my Laptop over to the neighbors house and was able to sent e-mails with no problems; but when I returned home using my internet, I had the same trouble back again. I called my ISP (internet) provider and they found out my IP address was Blocked.

Apparently they, (Barracuda) register complaints of spam and with no research, they add you to a block list! Then sell block lists and for a fee will remove your IP from their server blocking.

What a racket!

I guess I'll be back working some time this week. I hope you haven't had any trouble like this, but if you have, tell the rest of us about it.

William :)

Does it help if you first make your link a pretty link or use an url shortener?

You're the second person I've heard from tonight about being blacklisted. Yours is email, another was for video. Hmmm.... not good. I hope you find out a way around this.

Have a great day tomorrow!

Wow William, That is wild!

I haven't sent out any WA emails but that would for sure be a shock indeed.

Thank you for sharing this so that we can all be aware of the barracudas.

I use a proxy, which may avoid this kind of problem. I remember that some years ago even a respectable organisation like bigpond was blacklisted by UK ISP's because of the number of spammers using thier servers. This caused a huge problem at Christmas because people in the UK could not have two way email with friends and relatives in Australia.

The correct route for investigation of this problem is via your ISP.

I'm truly glad you got that sorted out what a hassle and a crock. They (barracuda) should not be permitted to do such things.
