This is a company that has now gone over the edge. Spamhaus is a computer company that sells spamming protection services. Since the American Internet spam attack started they are now going around cutting off free Internet Email service companies. I can't even email them to ask why they cut me off mail.com. They cut off Peggy from incomming email unless it is from a paid email site.
Cutting off a spammer is one thing but cutting off all services is unbelievable. What rights do they have to do that. Ok this is the first step in the PTB to take the internet away from us. Pretty soon we will have to go to the police station, get finger printed and mug shot to get an hour card on the net.
If anyone hears of a class action suit against them let me know, I want in on that one. They put all my emails out to lunch. For what, I have never spammed once. Why cut me off!
If you use a free email service expect it to be cut off. They are now making the rounds. I expect Yahoo to also go this week. Right now it is at 50% of normal.
Internet depressed again.
When is this going to stop

I think you missed a few headlines over the last couple of years :P
Ever been banned from godlickspopsicles for doing nothing. They and others in the BS website business use a spamhaus filter for naughty IP blocks and thats why GLPopsicles will ban you with they have to ban an entire IP block cause someone within that block of IPs is bothering them. The bothersome peeps renew their IPs and keep pestering the good god people at popsicles.
Same with email IPs and spam. Mail dot com has spammers and its blocked by the spamhaus filter along with other legit IPs.
This is the first time I have ever seen the blocking this effective. It is 100% so far. They have shut e down for work. Since I also use mail.com for work all work emails are being returned by spamhaus. Dirty little buggers. So they now have the right to shut down entire sites. That's good! I'm having fun with that. No wonder the Duch IP war is going on. Now they made it my turn to play the game.

Yea man - I was IP blocked since my 2nd viewing of the forum - really grinds my gears as when I'm might be doing one of my crazy searches, what I want is sometimes posted by a member over there, and I canny see it! :'(
This is getting to be rather funny now. Some good news, you be the judge...
My email company Mail.com has now placed Spamhaus on the spam list and everything is going to spam folders from both of them.
The great Spam war of 2014.
If all the other email companies follow suit then Spamhaus will be blocked off. Don't mess with the entire company, see what you get....We all like protection from spam but Spamhaus went too far. They just cut off every email company that spam was comming out of. So if one person was using mail.com, they shut off a million to pay the price. Who gave them that right. Again, all the good people pay the price.
If you are on a paid email service you are not in this game yet. Wait till the spammers hack into your email company and spam from there then you will be cut off also. This is the next step for the spammers.
