[15:27] *** :bethere.fdfnet.net 465 Woodee :You are banned from this server- (xx.xx.xx.xx) was found on a DNS blacklist (AHBL) (2006/7/17 10.21)
How the hell did I get my IP on a blacklist? :) All I did was try and go into the STG again which I hadn't done in months!
The server has had some rather nasty spammer problems, and has had to take some fairly aggressive action to stop it. Some of it means placing a whole lot of IPs on blacklists. I'll try to contact the admins and see if I can't get you removed.
I've chatted with an admin, and your current IP is on a blacklist due to someone, somewhere, running an open spam relay on it.
If you want back in, you'll have to do one of two things:
1. Get yourself a new IP, by cycling the power on your cable modem or something else.
2. Get that IP off the blacklist by following the directions at this link: http://www.ahbl.org/gettingout.php
Edit: The admin I've chatted with has triggered the removal process for you. If your machines are clean, you should be okay. *However*, there is no specified time frame for this removal process, so I've no idea how long you'll have to wait.
