Kate, It is unlikely you will find a direct contact for APEWS - your best bet is to get access to usenet through one of the Usenet providers or even through aioe or eternal-september. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org

APEWS is braindead in execution, if not in fact. They list about half of all IPv4 space, and one might reasonably state that anyone using them deserves their own self-inflicted SMTP intranet. http://www.dnsbl.com/2007/08/apews-news-and-commentary-roundup.html Andrew

APEWS is one of the many fringe hobby DNSBLs run from kids bedrooms. Nobody has ever heard of any network using APEWS so your client can not possibly be experiencing any mail issue due to any APEWS listing. Your client has simply looked up their IP address on some advert-laden "check your IP against a gazillion blacklists" website which happily reports every IP is 'listed' somewhere without mentioning that half the lists it checked against are not used by anyone except the kid running it.

I don't deny APEWS is pretty much useless, though I disagree with the (perceived) condescending sentiment about hobby projects. Many successful enterprises sprung from hobby projects.

So did spamhaus for quite a while. But this is specifically in the context of dnsbls. Where steve's mostly right. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)

Nobody in their right mind uses APEWS when there are more legitimate DNSBLs around like Spamhaus, AHBL, DroneBL, etc. Your client is unlikely having any problem with this listing. But, if you really want to bother, my advice is get a Supernews account and go for it. William

Most likely, given the toxic environment on USENET's NANAE, you'll simply be derided, mocked, or harassed by the inhabitants there instead of getting any sort of valid de-listing advice. Andrew
Nobody with half a brain uses it, especially not on a production network rather than "man, his girlfriend and the family dog running a linux box on a dsl line" Ignore would be the best advice. On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 2:11 AM, Kate Gerry <kate@quadranet.com> wrote:
