  2. Hello,

    We just bought a new IP address and it is not blacklisted anywhere except on Apews.org. We are looking for it to be removed. But we found nothing to contact them. The IP was blacklisted on 24 dec 2010, and we bought it yesterday (1 jul 2013). We have a proof, we can show our bill. Please if you have a solution, answer this post.

    The IP is 178.32.42.143

  8. Our mail server is listed in APEWS as part of a CIDR block:

    Entry matching your Query: E-620607
    176.58.121.0/24
    CASE: C-46
    Spammer / Scammer / Scanner / Zombie / other within this CIDR
    History:
    Entry created 2013-01-31

    I was recommended to post here by the APEWS website, but I don't have permission to post anything except a comment.

    It seems likely that we are collateral damage of this very old report. Our server is just one IP at Linode. Probably they took down the spammer quickly. I have no idea why this CIDR is listed. Please could you remove it?

    Cheers, Chris.

    The 24.120.0.0/16 block may have been part of a dynamic range and one point but our ISP told us it is now being used for Static IPs only.

  12. Dear APEWS Administrator,

    Pionica Poland is a Polish company which is creating banking software and software as a service.
    Some time ago, Pionica Poland has changed his ISP and got a new IP space, it is 79.188.148.0/29.

    One of the ip's within this range is used for sending emails from mailboxes of our employees, it is 79.188.148.2 with revdns mail.pionica.com. The rest of ips are used fo other servers like svn, gateway, other services, and are not used for sneding emails.

    Coul dyou please extract this subnet 79.188.148.0/29 to the separate record in APEWS DB and mark it as delisted?

    Thank you in advance
    Marcin Zawadzki.
