How to get removed from the Symantec/Brightmail reputation block list.

Brightmail Block Removal – This link was the biggest pain in the @$$ to find. For any of you that have ever had your mail blocked because your ip was listed with as a “insert generic reason here” from Symantec or Brightmail here is where you go to check and submit a removal request http://ipremoval.sms.symantec.com.

What pisses me off is that we pay for and run many Brightmail appliances and Symantec seems to provide close to zero resources that are easily accessible for the public.
Symantec please take a lesson from IronPort if you are being blocked based on your SenderBase reputation you just go to SenderBase.org and the lookups and tools you need are right there.

Don’t get me wrong I love my mail security appliances and for the price they are hard to beat but seriously if you are going to run a block list please make it easy for people to find out if they are listed and the steps they need to take to initiate the removal process.
