Oh no, not again.

A year ago, almost exactly, I found that my static IP, from which I run my own mailserver, was on a Spamhaus Zen policy blacklist. It seems that Plusnet had, in their infinite wisdom, published static IP adress ranges as being dynamic. Other users had the same issue:

The issue was resolved, but guess what? It's back. I've raised a case on the phone, but this post might act as a "heads up" to others who may be unaware that they could be facing the same issue.

Same issue here 20 minutes ago my email server was blacklisted by Spamhaus PBL registry

Highly annoying, reverse DNS still in place, email server secure.

Apparently, the Plusnet solution is to change your static IP. This is what just happened to me:

Thanks for the response Alex. I appreciate your intervention.

So...

It's now a week later, and no further forward.  I shall be leaving Plusnet for a provider not engaged in a race to the bottom with TalkTalk.
