And you are certain that you and any email gateway are not spamming?

I have a domain that was blocked by bellsouth.net - cannot send any email there
and can't get off their list. Not blocked sending anywhere else that I know. No
gateway server involved.  The sad thing is that THEY started it.  A friend's
account got hacked and spammed me. I replied to let him know (attaching the
original message). From that point, my domain has been blocked.  That was about
2 yrs ago.

Since then I've implemented dynamic spam blocking services - from time to time
yahoo and gmail get caught spamming, so that specific remote server is blocked.
1and1 gateway email servers seem to be constantly blocked too - appears they
allow emails that appear to be spam way to much from their clients.

My personal domain is blocked by some ISPs and countries for web traffic only.
Don't know why.  I've been places where I couldn't get to my website, but didn't
have any issue connecting via SSH using the domainname or sending/receiving
emails.  Tried http using the IP too - blocked. Thailand was the last country
that happened, but from 3 other countries in the region, nothing was blocked.
Friends in Europe and the middle east have been blocked too.  Don't know why.  I
don't think there is any R-rated content on the website.

Ideas?
