UCEPROTECT accused of extorting website owners over blacklisting
Original: Tell HN: Uceprotect is extorting website owners
A widely discussed claim is circulating that UCEPROTECT, the email blacklist operator, is effectively extorting website owners. The accusation is that sites are being placed on its blocklists and then pressured to pay for delisting or dedicated removal services, causing collateral damage to innocent mail servers sharing IP ranges. System administrators are debating the fairness and accountability of the service, with many sharing similar experiences.
Why now: Website and mail server operators are alarmed by claims that a widely used spam blacklist pressures them to pay for removal.
