An entire set of netblocks at Peer1 recently got added to the realtime blacklist (RBL) database - this includes 66.199.128.0/18, which of course includes several (all?) of Priority Colo's IP's. I'm going to follow up with Peer1 to see if they can/will release Priority's netblock, but if Myles & co. can assist with this, it would be most helpful. We have several services which are receiving bounce messages from RBL because of this ban.

As indicated, theres not a lot we can do, as we simply occupy 1/16 of that IP block (and are not considered contacts the RBL will consider hearing from). The only real options at this point are to wait for Peer1 to get it delisted, or migrate to our new ARIN allocated IP's (which we're actively moving customers on a case by case basis to) in the 204.11.48.0/21 netblock (which is obviously a direct allocation).

Thanks Myles,

. I'm sure I would have come up with it too given time 
.I got a response from MAPS, who gave me a complete write off email (which granted I sent a quick "uh, correction" type of reply), which indicated we were end users, and forwarded us to some useless and irrelavent links (eg. what you hand dialup users when they complain about this stuff). While I do expect a response from MAPS based on the first email, I doubt it'll be terribly insightfull or relavent at this point. I'll give Brian Mohammed (our Peer1 sales rep) a call tomorrow, as he's generally fairly helpfull, and this has to be detremental to all of their customers (and thus their sales, and his commission).
Regards,
