BT, please remove BT IP address from 3 blacklists

Hello,
Today, suddenly, at about 14:30, I couldn't access several websites. I am an existing BT broadband customer. To cut a longer story short, it appeared that the IP address that BT (randomly) allocates, was at that time: 86.137.103.242. 
The IP address was the problem. Why: it is listed on 3 blacklists: http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3a86.137.103.242&run=toolpage
We don't do any email spamming or newsletters or anything like that. Our internet access devices are free of any viruses or malware, and all ports are listed as "perfect stealth mode" when using the "ShieldsUp" testing tool at the Gibson Research Corporation, at: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 - though I realize this is somewhat datad now.
Anyway, restart the router, was the fix and we get a nice new - different IP address - so could access those same websites again.
The problem seems to be: BT haven't contacted the 3 blacklist providers in the mxtoolbox.com URL above to assure them that the IP address is now clean. Please do that so we don't get the problem again.
Otherwise, that problem IP address: 86.137.103.242, will probably automatically get re-released back into the pool of available IP addresses for some other BT user to get hit with the same problem.
We know the problem is a blacklisted IP address, and so how to fix that problem, someone else may not, and therefore have to endure a tortured, stressful time - all unnecessary. Plus, we wouldn't want that to happen to someone attempting to do Christmas shopping online and suddenly find they can't access various websites.
Thank you.

I doubt this was actually your problem.  Blacklists aren't used to stop people from viewing websites - they are used to stop mail delivery from known spam hosts or virus-infected hosts.

  • How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

    How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
    address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
    from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

    How do you remove a web site from popular list?
    If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
    Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
    The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
    In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
    Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

  • How do I remove an email address from a workflow notification?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please. Can you tell me how to remove an old email address from a workflow notification? The person's name and email address have already been removed from the list of Users in the Admin area, but some workflow notifications are still being sent to their email. Any ideas?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Thanks Liam, I'd previously looked at the also notify field and it didn't show any other email addresses. This time I clicked on the second of my two options in the Workflow Steps field, and then clicked back on the first one  again, and hey presto, two email addresses appeared! The offending email address has now been removed.
    Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

  • How can I remove an email address from one apple account and associate it with another?

    I created an appleID account to use with the mac AppStore without realising i previously had an appleID account from my first iPod touch.
    Now with OSX 10.8 I want to use the email address from the old account with the new account for Messages.app without having to manage 2 logins.
    I've followed the steps found on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 under the section "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" but each time I attempt to add the removed email address from the new account to the old account the input box shows the error: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

  • How do I remove an email address from an account?

    Every time I turn my iphone off and on again, it asks me to log into icloud and other apps that I set up with an old email address. That old email address has now been removed from my itunes account and replaced, and I no longer use the old one at all. However, when I go into my itunes account, it doesn't say anything about my old email address still being on there. How do I remove my old email from icloud without losing my apps or my current itunes account details?

    Just what did you do? There is only one email address for one Apple ID but yo can have an alternate email address to use to contact Apple.

  • How do I remove an email address from the imessge in settings?

    When i sent an imessage to one of my contacts who is also an owner of the iphone, she says that I am sometimes sending it via email.  I went into settings and then to messages and I have 2 addresses, one of them is my email address.  I now want to remove my email address as it  seems to be causing me problems.  How do I remove my email address?  I am aware that i touch "Receive At" which has 2 addresses, but I am wanting to remove the email address but nothing is happening.  Help!

    You're welcome.
    If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
    If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
    Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
    When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

  • Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

    We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected]  and so on …..)
    We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group.  I know this will work. 
    Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses  (Not the IT department)
    There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list? 
    Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

    I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
    anyway so why don’t from the start...
    I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
    will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...

  • Remove Bogus Email Addresses from Address-Completion Cache?

    Clearly Apple's Email program retains a small cache of Email addresses for address-completion purposes as you type in addresses on the To or Cc lines.
    Is there a way to remove bogus addresses from that cache?
    A few folks have long since moved to different addresses, and it keeps popping up their ancient addresses...

    From your Mail menu choose Window > Previous Recipients, delete whatever you like.
