Pete's right about how IPs get put on the lists. In fact, let us not forget that these lists were mostly created with volunteers - some still today. Many are very old lists. Enterprise networks select lists by some sort of popularity / fame - etc.. Like how they decide to install 8.8.8.8 as first -

Hi, This is why I moved away from static black lists years ago. When the 68/8 and 24/8 blocks were released and tons of networks had it blocked since it was "reserved" I observed and felt the pain. My networks are small, and I rely on things such as fail2ban which auto remove the blocks.

So just to be clear here, the reason I made this post isn't to have some help with removing our block from 'official' blacklists around the world. We checked the lists and we weren't on them. The last (known) list this block was on was in September 2016, so just over 6 months ago now, a

Looks like it was taken off the list in Sept 2016. I suppose this could be the reason why our block is still listed in various networks, even though it's not on a known 'official' list. Thanks for the tip Mike. - Pete Baldwin Tuckersmith Communications (P) 519-565-2400 (C) 519-441-738
