This doesn't really have to do with blacklistings really, as SpamHaus isn't listing anything, and we work well with them to remove any spammers etc.

The listings that are there are different lists, and we are researching them as possible.

However it is quite something 300Gb/s attacks, spammers are not making friends among the internet public for sure.

Yep
maybe I should've worded it a bit better as I did realise it wasn't relevant to the blacklisting of jodos IP's but nonetheless an interesting tun of events.
