Today, I became aware that my mail server at 62.153.141.98 was
blacklisted by
apews.org [1]. The block actually spans the entire range
of
62.153.0.0/16 which is quite unfortunate as this range is split
over a huge number of subnets. My network including the mail server in
question is 62.153.141.96/29 -- as can be easily verified by retrieving
the associated record from RIPE [2].
To me it makes no sense to block an entire /16 range which has been
splitted into individual RIPE-listed subnets. I can guarantee that
at no time spams were originating from this mail server at 62.153.141.98
or from anywhere within 62.153.141.96/29. No webserver is run in this
subnet nor anything else which would justify a block.
Andreas.
