Static IP in blocklist due to abuse by other IPs
Hello, recently I have found that my static IP is on the dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net blocklist, which is causing many sites to reject my outgoing HTTP/HTTPS requests including to banks, government sites, etc. This has become quite a problem.
The documentation for this blocklist is at https://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=7&s=0 and states that being on the level 2 blocklist is not because of abuse from my IP address, but from other IP addresses in the block mine is part of. And, that only the owner of that entire IP block can remove the listing by resolving the abuse from that entire block.
Is this something Comcast can help with?

For any others that stumble across this, do an internet search for "uceprotect scam".
You'll see lots of reports that they are effectively set up as a pay to remove and are not a terribly legitimate RBL to be using for blocking IPs.
My Comcast statics have been on the UCEProtect Level 2 db for years. I've not encountered any issues with mail delivery.
I don't think being listed is a serious concern today. I also don't think anyone still uses UCEProtect for blocking of IP's. If you do encounter that, you're more likely to convince whoever that is to stop using UCEProtect than to get your IP removed from the UCEProtect listing.
