I'm glad to hear this was recent.

We sent out a mass mailing (to people who had emailed us for
information, etc) which I oversaw. Tons of RR bounces. Crazy.

It gets worse.

Some of our boxes are hosted by Above.net. Late November the Class C
they were on was put in Spamhaus. Anyone who wanted to use the nifty
@forclark.com forwarding service had problems if their provider used
Spamhaus. We just got that fixed this week.

In the meantime, we went and got our own T1 with a new Class C
network, but that class C happens to be in the middle of a Dialup net
block. Wonderful. We're listed by several DNSbls simply because
we've got a /24 inside a blacklisted /22.

Anyone had experience dealing with getting out of a DUL?

Mark.
