KVR Audio

The bottom of that page does give steps on removal, and it does say there is a bug in the system that sometimes lists domains that aren't really on the list.

I do say it's important to check into. I've never even seen this before. I'm shocked if we're really on this.

[ob] (OutBlaze) blocked KVR for a while because it was mentioned in another email from a domain that was already blocked. An email to postmaster@outblaze.com got it taken off fairly swiftly.

could it be that the webserver it's on allows for open proxy?...

Me working on THIS problem is like walking your pet crocodile through a room full of chickens... all you're going to end up with is a lot of bloody chickens...

I've PM'd Kovacs -- I know he's at work right now, but once he get's my messages, he'll be hot on it -- no doubt.

In the meantime, since I have no clue how all that stuff works, we'll just have to wait for him to sus it out.

I can't believe it's any big deal & must be some mistake.

*with the exception that I've already received a complaint and it doesn't make us look very good to any potential supporters at this point if they're getting blocked. Grrrr..

I have sent an e-mail to postmaster@outblaze.com and asked that they review our site and remove us from the list. We have neither sent e-mail from that domain, nor have we done anything which should resemble spamming (AFAIK). Let's hope it can be resolved - if not, we should consider using a different domain.

Is "outblaze" the right entity to contact?

Anyway, what's to stop this rom happeneing again even if we get a new domain?

Yes, in this case [ob] represents Outblaze which is a spam block list.

It shouldn't be a problem to resolve it and perhaps they can tell us why we were put on the list in the first place.

I have received an automatic reply which says they'll look into the matter so at least there was a response...

I HAVE to hit the hay or I'm going to pass out. Let me grab about 6 and I'll be back on then. If I have to, I'll be sending emails and calling in favors. Anyway -- we'll fix it -- nothing's gonna stop this walkin talkin soft machine...

I checked out outblaze and did a search for our site. This is what came back:

We are unable to find any information regarding any email block from the information you have supplied.

This may be due to the fact that the email block was recently lifted/removed from our systems or it may be due to an error.

Perhaps it was just lifted off the list.

Yay! Let's hope so!

Yes, let's hope so. They had a list of other sites that spam-block, but I don't have time to check them as I'm off to work. Perhaps somebody can check them out?

Keep those preorders coming!! We have an EXTRA special prize in the works along with some other goodly news!
