Uceprotect has some strange listing policies that have been questioned numerous times. But the crux of it is this, the people who use UCEProtect are well aware of it - and it's not widely used. Personally it's one of those lists I don't trust to block at an SMTP level, but will include a score shifter on a hit. Listen Nigel, your main issue here is not SORBS or UCEProtect, but your ISP. BT are - quite simply - pants. They are tardy, lazy and poor at dealing with issues like this. If you don't want this hassle change providers - or put up with the fallout that comes from using BT. Honestly, it's probably the best advice you'll ever get. It's a few days down the road since you came here and mentioned this issue and your provider has still not dealt with it. That would be 'MAC CODE - GOODBYE' in my book.
