<p>Most importantly, it means that we currently have no SBL listings for our IP space! We were recognized by the Spamhaus Team as a proactive no-spam-tolerance network.</p>
<p>This is quite rare as Spamhaus listing process is very strict and thorough. That is something we are very proud of.  </p>

<p>Although spam is something that happens on a regular basis, our abuse and support teams work hard at keeping spammers off of our network (good job guys!).</p>
<p>You too can help. If your receive spam originating from our network, simply report it    to <a href="mailto:abuse@iweb.com">abuse@iweb.com</a> by sending<a href="mailto:abuse@iweb.com"></a> a copy of the mail headers (make sure to include rogue server&#8217;s ip address in the subject line).</p>
<p>You might not receive an instant confirmation and spam might not stop right away (wouldn&#8217;t it be great if it was that simple?) but you can be sure that we will do all necessary verifications on the suspected server.</p>
