I get a couple calls a week from people asking how we got
off of it. Think if it as an opportunity to network with
others.
:)
For those who are reading this three months from now on
Google, we got off the blacklist.mail.ops.worldnet.att RBL
by emailing abuse_rbl@att.net from a hotmail account. It
took about 24 hours and I never received an "It's all better
now" email, it just started working.
Good Luck,
