[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1470968, member: 110816"] Also, since no one has specifically said it yet, this has nothing to specifically do with your local machine, i.e., re-installing Thunderbird or OS X or whatever will not make this go away. Your IP address, given to you by your ISP, is one that might have been previously used to do bad things.. Visit a website like [url=http://www.whatismyip.com/]What Is My IP Address - Shows Your IP Address[/url] which will tell you what your public IP address is. Note that and then go to your cable modem and power it off and let it rest for a few minutes. Then turn it back on and once you're fully online, go back to the URL and see if your public IP changed or remained the same. If it remained the same, your ISP is locking your cable modem to that IP, so you'll have to call them and give them the IP address and have them move to a different IP address. Do let them know that this particular one has been blacklisted so that they can quarantine the address and others won't have to go through this again.. [/QUOTE]
