I'm no friend of Spamhaus since they messed up things by lack of logical thinking. When I changed my employer my RIPE person handle was still referenced by my old employer for quite some time while I've updated the handle. There was a issue with one customer of the old employer sending SPAM and Spamhaus put not just the networks of the old employer but also the networks of the new employer into the blacklist. If they would have read the RIPE objects they would have noticed that. So they caused some trouble and it wasn't easy to contact someone from Spamhaus to fix that ASAP. BTW, they added ALL networks, not just the one originating SPAM. And there were a lot of networks. So they took all other customers hostage. Those are the issues with blacklists overdoing their job :-(


Regards,
Markus
