[R] r-project.org address blacklisted by anti-spam software

[Hans W Borchers]

Dear List:

An e-mail mentioning the r-project.org address and sent to a friend at a German
university was considered spam by the local spam filter.

Its reasoning: the URL "r-project.org" is blacklisted at uribl.swinog.ch resp.
at antispam.imp.ch. I checked the list

    http://antispam.imp.ch/swinog-uri-rbl.txt  [caution: long list]

and indeed, there it was. Can anybody explain how or why the R project made its
way onto the list? Is it reasonable to file a protest?
