Jimbo can you comment on this? This scares the hell out of me right here.
What exactly scares you about being listed by spamhaus or similar lists? After reading that earlier I decided to check my Ip address and it was present in one of the lists for email spam (I don't even email my customers let alone spam emails to anyone) so I reset my router to get a new IP address and that was also listed in there.
As it has never impacted me signing up to or using any websites I wouldn't have even known if I hadnt checked. It has never affected me in the past so I do not intend to worry about it now either.
Also I just checked all of my server IPs and not one is listed in there and they host all of my websites that I regularly run through NHSEO so again it isn't going to impact any of my websites.
Anytime you post your website or any info to the internet you run the risk of ending up on some list just based on the fact it is so easy to flag a message, email, comment or any other type of info as spam so no activity you partake in on the internet is safe.
I am not aware of any blog platform that uses spamhaus either which would explain why after weeks (cumulative) of running NHSEO none of my server IPs have ever come up in a spamhaus list. The most popular spam filter by far is akismet and even being listed on there will not lower your chances of getting links through NHSEO at all.
I am not saying it is impossible this is a result of the actions NHSEO has taken but it is pertinent to understand that the IP could be listed before you even get it (such is my case) and also that you could get put on a list without ever spamming anything, some people on the internet are malicious without reason.
If anyone is worried about getting their IP listed in lists like this NHSEO fully supports proxies to hide your true identity when posting.
