Autopuzzles has been blacklisted
« on: November 11, 2010, 02:33:17 PM »
Sorry to say this but Cisco's Senderbase has classified Autopuzzles.com as being associated with spyware / malware.

Found this out as I can't get to the site from the office (where we run Cisco Ironport devices as our proxy servers).

That page is useless. It offers no way to inquire or protest what is an arbitrary decision that they refuse to be accountable for.

Unfortunately the Senderbase score is compiled off reports from all the Ironport appliances worldwide. Basically a load of appliances have reported malware / spyware from the domain and that will lower the reputation score.

It should clear after a month or two of not seeing any malicious activity. I can get the admin to remove the block so that our office appliance will report the site as clean...

There is no malware or spyware issues with this site. Our site is hosted on a server that is shared with other sites. Those sites could have malware issues and, hence, pollute that IP but not this site.

That is what I think happened here.

The black list has cleared the site - so I can now browse it from the office!
