Found i'm being blocked trying to send a post to Beyonwiz forum
Testing here to see if it's BWiz specific, or network
Apologies.
Would you like me to PM peteru about it on the Beyonwiz forum?
You're probably correct that your outward-facing IP address has ended up in the banned list that the BW forum uses.
Thank you, I would appreciate that.
I was trying to respond to the post about the new 19.3 release.
The error I get is below.
""Your IP 43.245.171.49 has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=43.245.171.49.""
I've also emailed my internet provider, in case they were aware
The IP address is owned by them I believe.
Tks
Alan
Edit****
i've also sent off an email to BW. at the email address forum1@beyonwiz.com.au. from the contact link
on the header of the of the forum..
i wouldn't really expect a response for some time.
but every little helps.
I've PM'd peteru on the Beyonwiz forum, with a link to this topic.
That IP is not in a manually maintained blacklist, so there's nothing I can do to unban.
However, I think you have bigger problems than forum posting. Take a look at the reason for the blacklisting at Spamhaus:

Tks for your follow up.
I think I'll be talking with the tech staff at my ISP today.
For those that may be following this thread,
The problem occurs only when I attempt to post in the Beyonwiz forum.
I can read and download without being blocked.
The IP address that is the focus of attention is within my ISP network, it may be anyone that they service that could have started this whole ruckus rolling, and caused a spam report to SPAMHAUS.
Hopefully it wasn't me.
Which ISP is it?
According to APNIC, 43.245.171.49 belongs to Fusion Broadband.
The ISP is acsess health

Thanks
