I haven't been able to send emails all day. After small investigation, I realized that my Public IP address has been blacklisted. This is the message I saw when I inquired as to why my IP address was blacklisted....

"Your network originating advance fee fraud spam through auth hijacking/ I

The IP address range 197.242.100.0 - 197.242.113.255 operated by Spectranet Limited in Nigeria is an intense origin of criminal activity. Several users from this IP range send advance fee fraud ('419') spam mails by hijacking mailservers throughout the world using guessed or stolen passwords.

Spamhaus recommends not to accept any SMTP connection coming from this range, not even when authentication is used. Furthermore, we recommend operators of webmail systems not to accept any HTTP or HTTPS connection from this range.

If you are a Spectranet user affected by this SBL listing, please contact Spectranet, not Spamhaus. Only Spectranet can solve the problem by eliminating criminals from their network, and we need to hear from Spectranet to remove this SBL listing.

In just a few days we have observed criminal abuse from:
