Slashdot.org notes that the MAPS RBL went overboard for a few days this last week, blocking two major addresses at Macromedia.com, including the main website address. For those who are not yet familiar with this phenomenon, a small group of anti-spam crusaders called MAPS publishes the RBL, which many ISPs subscribe to. Those ISPs block mail to and from addresses on the RBL list. As of May 18, two of Macromedia's IPs were actually blocked. postal.macromedia.com was blocked, allegedly because of Macromedia's opt-in email newsletter "the Edge." No one seems to know why Macromedia's main Web address would be blocked.

Service to all Macromedia addresses, worldwide, was restored some time Thursday night or Friday morning.
