I am starting to think my systems have been blacklisted for some reason.
They have all (3) been set up according to the instructions listed
on the web site, but all are failing to get updates.
How do I
1) find out for certain if I am blacklisted? (none of the machines
in question have lynx or wget on them so that option from the FAQ won't work)
2) get removed from the blacklist if I am on it?
3) find out what cause the blacklisting to start with?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

See if you can make connections to port 80 with telnet...
$ telnet www.yahoo.com 80
Trying 216.109.112.135...
Connected to rc.yahoo.akadns.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
head / <enter><enter>
bunch of stuff printed...
If the connection to yahoo works, try the same with
database.clamav.net. If it doesn't, you're blacklisted (too-frequent
updates? - I don't know). I think the blacklist entry is
automatically removed after 24 hours.
If the server doesn't have telnet installed, you will need to install
some kind of testing tool, might as well install lynx or wget for
testing, remove later.
