How can I get my site off internet filter blacklists?
It does start with a “P”. The site is hosted on my account at DreamHost. I suppose it is possible that I am being blocked because of another site on the same box. Aside from that, I have no idea why anone would block access to it. The public library system is using something called SAM. The person I emailed said there should not be a problem getting the block removed next week when the right guy returns next week. I tried the school system’s IT folks, and they removed the block with an explanation of “it does that sometimes”. Preliminary reports say it works on the school system’s domain, but not on the school’s network domain. I checked a few of the filtering software companies today that allow you to query their database and appeal, but my site was not restricted by those companies.
