This stuff hasn't changed in some 8-10 years and you are the first to have any issues with it that I can recall. I really doubt this is a widespread problem and honestly we don't have a lot of cycles to play with mail systems. Rasmus, these are key points: no recent config changes; no widespread issues.

You can't just look at the total numbers, which block lists you end up on and how current the violation is matters a lot. For example: http://www.uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.php?ipr=79.170.44.47 I agree. I've already switched mailboxes for php.net, and has already raised a ticket on this specific report with my provider, but your wording implies some ranking algo or human-in-the-loop interpretation. Documenting this would help me and others affected with similar diagnose such issues in future.

So yes, if you share a mail server with an active spammer, you are likely to get blocked, not just from php.net, but from many places. Sorry, no: just php.net so far, but again thanks for the feedback. I'll treat this thread as closed.
