Being classed as a spammer is based on your IP number. Use a better connection instead of one which is commonly used for sending spam to people all over the world. Most open networks (such as mobile/touchpad networks) are of this sort, and should be avoided. However, after some testing, this seems to be only in some countries where spammers use these open networks.

If you are using a home network, contact your ISP and ask what's up.

You seem to be highlighted by Barracuda. Check this if the above doesn't work: http://www.barracudacentral.org/rbl/removal-request

I havn't been able to get here from my in hospital work station in months. On the other hand, I never see tons of kitchen spam any more either.

And I probably have better things to do at work than swanning about this place too... <.<

Thanks Naggie. I guess it must just be when I'm out and about. When I'm at home seems to work. Will try and get myself removed from this barracuda thing. I presume the email server IP address is the one which shows up when I get the you are a spammer message?

It probably is. I've never seen that message, but I assume it is.

Yeah, one building in my campus won't let me post because it tags the building. Funny, because it's the police training building.
