[okfn-help] okfn.org email bouncing?

Wed Aug 24 19:27:20 UTC 2011

Sadly okfn.org has been registered on a real-time black list for spamming on http://www.uribl.com

I have registered and requested delisting. I guess our sysadmins should check we've not been exploited In some way somewhere which is pumping out spam.

All the best,
Jason
