SPAMHAUS.ORG FRAUD
Steve Linford Spamhaus Fraud

Your Internet provider is probably blocking and censoring your incoming emails. Call, email or write your Internet Provider and "demand" that they do not block your incoming emails using the Spamhaus blacklist. Inform them they will be responsible for any losses you incur as a result of emails you do not receive.
The same blacklist Spamhaus charges up to $5000 for is freely available at http://cbl.abuseat.org/

SPAMHAUS is operated by this deviant criminal. He founded it. He came up with the name. He runs it and he uses Steve Linford as a front so he will not have lawsuits filed against him in the USA. The UK has now become involved.

F.A.Qs

1. The same blacklist Spamhaus charges up to $5000 for is freely available at http://cbl.abuseat.org/

2. Spamhaus blacklist blocks more legitimate mail than spam.

3. Spamhaus uses blackmail tactics to achieve their goal of having hosts pay for their list.

4. Spamhaus has become a Spews clone and is completely militant and out of control.

5. Spamhaus grabs listings from other blacklists in an effort to gain more profits by having a bigger list.

6. Spamhaus blacklist usage is on the decline and with your help we can keep it going down


What Can I do?

Please contact us at http://www.sfo.gov.uk/contact.asp

2.If in the USA, write to your congressman and your ISP and tell them that you do not want your email blocked. there is no telling how much legitimate mail You are not receiving as a result of this. and if they have to block emails then use one of the free Open source lists that are not used along with blackmail tactics and operated by a deviant criminal.
Spamhaus closes any site they want when they want. this is illegal

New York times quote
Spamhaus gang buying a Moving to a 70 foot yacht?


Spamhaus plans to move to a 70-foot yacht that will travel, cove to cove, across the
Adriatic

I am sure Spamhaus supporters are interested to hear what is done with the money they donate.
Spamhaus is blacklisting and threatening any host that hosts any site that they wish.

This "complaint" was written by a spammer called William Stanley who is blacklisted by Spamhaus for spamming. Stanley spammed the same "complaint" to as many forums as he could. Its funny to see spammers making up lies about Spamhaus - shows that Spamhaus really gets up these spammers noses :)

Unfortunately there is some elements of truth to this post, Spamhaus does charge for access to their list if you use it for a number of servers, and they do have a militant attitude to their methods. In my experience they dictate who an ISP can have as a client, just do a google search and you will find that Spamhaus pressures ISP's and hosters to drop can cancel clients they decide is a spammer. No appeals, no process, no due diligence, either capitulate to their demands and kill off your suspected client or your network becomes non-usable to the Internet community. It seems that Spamhaus has become just as despised as the spammers that they say they are going after. It would be nice to see some type of representation from the ISP's point of view, instead of having Spamhaus force the ISP's to do their dirty work. I as an ISP am getting tired of being the target of frivolous lawsuits brought on by customers that Spamhaus deems unfit to be our clients.

Spamhaus.org is blocking our e-mails to the CCR (Central Contractor Registry). We have never generated spam and our ISP Earthlink is not a generator of spam. How do we file an official complaint? How do we contact Spamhaus.org Steve Linford? What is his e-mail and mailing address and telephone number?

Spamhause block my IP also. I am a principal of a real estate agency and loosing money because of this! I tried to unblock it on their website and got this:

“The IP address removal process failed for the following reason:

The netblock owner's policy does not allow removal from the PBL

I am so frustrated and don’t know what to do. Any help please?

Spamhaus are terrible and act like 14 year old kids on xboxlive trying to p0wn you when you email them.

If IP: 1.0.0.40's mail server gets attacked and infected and then spams out to servers spamhaus has watching, spamhaus will add 1.0.0.40's ip to the ban list + 127 other IPs in the range ( /24, it can be more). If those were shared hosting servers and had 10 sites per IP, then that could be 1000 websites unable to send email to yahoo and a ton of other mail servers. I swear they have no idea what they're doing.

When they act like 14 year olds is when you point out that they don't know what they're doing. If they block a mail server because it happens to use an IP that is in the same class C block as joe shmoe spammer 10km away and you want it fixed you have some options like choosing a new ISP, relaying your messages thru another server or using another server altogether for outgoing. Why don't they just unblock your legitimate server? Because they have the power to not do it and that seems to get them off. If you want to horribly trouble them with your request to have their illegitimate and poorly structured block lifted then you have to kiss ass to a 14 year old with a bad attitude and chances are you'll get no where.

If you get spamhaused I suggest quickly updating your dns records and getting another mail server at another far away IP.
