RE: [PLUG] OT: abuse lists

["Eugene Smiley" <eugene@esmiley.net>]

I find that I get this on ocassion due to other domains hosted on 
the same server as mine. It seems that if domains share a server, 
therefor, an IP address, that the blackhole lists will block the 
entire server by IP address. 

The last time it happened to me was January. The hosting service 
had to research it and found old versions of formmail on other 
domains to be the source of the IP being blocked.
