Patrick.net memes is being censored by Spamhaus for political reasons.

Please help get patrick.net uncensored again!

I send out weekly meme emails from p@patrick.net as well as from this Substack.

But now a group called “Spamhaus” has put the IP address of patrick.net on their “spam” blacklist even though:

1. I never send spam.

2. They refuse to say exactly why I’m on their spam blacklist.

3. They refuse to show me any example of this supposed spam.

4. They refuse to say exactly how I can get off their blacklist.

This means that when I send memes from p@patrick.net, many of the mails bounce and readers who want the memes can’t get them. Hotmail, for example, is dumb enough to trust the bogus Spamhaus blacklist so mail from p@patrick.net to any Hotmail address will now bounce, but Protonmail and Google wisely do not trust Spamhaus, so I can still email people with Protonmail or Google addresses. I explained this in a post on my site:

You can see that the patrick.net IP address is on their blacklist here:

Please help by contacting Spamhaus and asking them to stop the political censorship of patrick.net (IP address 137.184.228.18):

https://contact-center.spamhaus.org/

Maybe if enough people ask them to drop their censorship, they will relent.

Thank you!

PS It would also help to tell your email provider not to trust the bogus Spamhaus blacklist.
