I was able to post a reply to a comment. But when i try to post in the Exchange Forums, I get a message saying my IP is blocked. It refers me to Spamhaus, which offers no way for me to be unblocked. This happens both if I'm using a VPN or not. Any ideas?

Edit. OK, nevermind. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, it has now decided to work.

it is better in the help forum, if you want me to see it, of course.

This being said you're the second one today. Spamhaus is a service that we use to boot spammers before they can create an account and there after.

I guess they must have had a hiccup today. Glad everything is back in place because this is not a service that I would get rid off cheerfully.


EDIT, I got the message myself posting this message. Guess the hiccup ain't over.

There is a script update. Maybe it comes from there. I’ll try to update it during the weekend.
