Lately, the CCL receives a few thousands spam messages a day and for that reason it is protected by the blacklist. While the blacklist was available publicly on the Web before, I had to protect it. People were finding their IP addresses mentioned on this list via Google search and asking me for removal from the list even though they were not associated in any way with CCL and not using CCL services. My blacklist is used by a SINGLE machine only, namely: ccl.net, and the removal would not help them if they ended up on some organizational blacklists due to sending spam or virus infected mail as a result of break-in or exploits. To limit these unnecessary inquiries, I decided to remove my blacklist from public view and protect it by the password, so the search engines will not index it. To see the list of spammers, please use the page: http://www.ccl.net/pass_protected/ and use "ccl" as User Name and the "lookup" as the Password. This will let you review the current list of domains/IP addresses that are bounced from out server. Sorry for this being so convoluted, but there are reasons for it. If you have problems sending mail to ccl.net domain, please contact me with the copy of the complete bounce (including all headers -- cut an paste them into the WEB FORM) and I will investigate. If you are on my blacklist, you get rejected with a bounce containing error: Rejected: 5.7.1 If your mail is rejected, you obviously cannot send me a message via regular email, unless you use some other machine. Therefore, please contact CCL administrators via Web Form: http://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/send_message2admin I will gladly remove your IP address from this list when requested. Note, if your computer is blacklisted, it is MOST LIKELY NOT YOUR FAULT. The spammers use elaborate schemes to attack mail gateways and even small slips in security or bugs in the software allow them to compromise legitimate mail gateways in respectable organizations. We are all victims of the evil doers of the web, and it is a matter of time when we will be attacked. Also, my blacklist is created automatically by software, and occasionally innocent IP addresses may end up there due to various exploits used by spammers. We will not be able to tell you why your address ended up there, since the junk mail is removed from the server as soon as possible to save disk space.
