Help! Cisco has listed my website as 'poor' in its SenderBase database

Cisco has listed my website as 'poor' in its SenderBase database. And now, I cannot access the site from my work computer. I suspect there are a lot of servers blocking the site now. But there is no reason for it. I am NOT running a malicious site and all the other places I have checked list it as safe.

Other than send an e-mail to Cisco, is there anything I can do about this?

Maybe it's your workplace that's cutting down on access to non-work websites rocktivity Jun 2014 #1
Yes. My employer is blocking it because of how Cisco has classified it LuckyTheDog Jun 2014 #2

Way back when, I was cut off from MediaWhoresOnline.com because they thought it was a porn site! I had to send in a letter explaining it was a political news sites, and they lifted the ban.

Your web site may be sharing servers with the trouble makers.

From SenderBase.org:

IP address: 184.168.47.225
server name: redirect-v225.secureserver.net
block list: http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=184.168.47.225

Yes, the CBL @ AbuseAt.org says you are sharing server(s) with the Bad Guys.

Going forward, I might have to pay the my host extra for a dedicated IP address. The issue was with two other sites on the same server. But I cannot afford a dedicated server. And even if I could, it would be a waste of bandwidth because the site does not get all that much traffic.

Start asking questions about breach of contract for the hosting company failing to secure their servers.

Your site and had no problems getting there.

I do get about one or two alerts each day that some website is not safe for me, but yours is fine.

And the site is excellent to boot.

I think the issue was resolved.

Going forward, I might have to pay the my service provider for a dedicated IP address. The issue was with two other sites on the same server.
