It can be an issue if your hosting company does in fact provide hosting for spammers- not just with them, but with other blacklist sites.

Their site has a query tool to lookup abuse reports for your ISP/hosting company. If they are, in fact, hosting a lot of spammers, you basically have 2 choices: find a new host or stay and deal with the issue.

I can never find any specific report. But I could find some nonsense about the ISP having 488448 IP addresses! Those IP addresses are not Internet connection subscribers but are for web servers in high tier data centres around the globe.

Apparently most of the larger networks see UCEPROTECTL3 for what it is, an extortion seeking to be paid to be added to a whitelist, which is not an acceptable policy even for the spam reporting industry. Unfortunately it may be the less experienced network managers, like those managing corporate/university/college networks that worship everything spam related, and that is a problem because my clients are missing out on support.

In the last two years I've experienced some outgoing emails being "bounced" for "unexpected activity", "volume complaints", "bad neighborhoods or range", etc ... and when taking the headers apart I discovered it was my OWN isp acting out!

This war on spam, which is necessary---I do not deny that!---has tightened the ratchet to the point you get it coming and GOING!

Some of these spam reporting services share an attitude problem. For an insight into that mentality see [uceprotect.org...]

Well IP addresses can be cleaned.
Not that difficult if you are innocent.

f you are on the UCEPROTECTL2/L3, you have an IP address from your ISP that falls into a poor reputation range (i.e., the entire range of IP addresses is blocked as a result of the provider hosting spammers).

your ISP that falls into a poor reputation range

Yes, and that is where it gets dumber and dumber, because that IP range is for one of the largest hosting networks in the US... they don't provide websites or virtual servers... barebones servers only... to professionals!

Uceprotectl3 is a scam but used by ignorant network admins?
