MennoNet.com

Several of you are getting a Spamhaus blacklist notice. This is something being done at the ISP level. I have no settings or control over who is getting blocked. My Host provider is blocking the IP of your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

After reading on Spamhaus.org this is what I have understood needs to be done to correct it.

Contact your ISP and request they contact Spamhaus to get the IP address you are using removed.

Sometimes ISP's have multiple IP addresses. If you log out and back into your ISP, you may get an IP number that has not been blocked.

Mennonet will be getting moved shortly and this may all go away. So patience may be needed.

Sorry for your struggles. We will keep working at it until things get sorted better.

“Spamhaus” sounds like a German spam restaurant and I’m both relieved and sad that it doesn’t exist.

I suppose they called it "Haus" because everyone understands "house", but written in the German way it appears more (a) effective and (b) menacing.

Every once in a while in America you have to deal with fake German because people are trying to be cute.

Of course the Germans appropriate a lot more English. My students are highly amused that in Germany a cell phone is called a "handy."

For some reason these past two posts show up on my Notifications list. Anyone know why ?

Oh, I think I know now, this thread is in the Announcements and Introductions forum. Right ?

i’m getting the Spamhaus alerts again today.

so far, when i “try again” i haven’t been re-blocked. no explanation included.

(it happened again, and again, with this post.)

I got one too and hit submit again and it went through. There must be some attacks on networks going on today and it may take a few days to sort things out. I am sure it is the Russians.

Spamhaus problems continued today.
Hitting submit several times usually took care of it.

Same here. I contacted the website host and they have no control or involvement in it.

So now (yesterday evening and each time I attempt to post anything today, I'm getting hit with this, too. (Yesterday was the first time I'd ever seen it.)

EDIT: Or maybe it's just the first time each day now. It didn't flag me when I posted the first part of this.
