I have a site at http://slotted.co. Some of my would-be users complain that their company firewall is blocking access. At least one user told me it was flagged as a gambling domain, which it is not. What can I do about this?

Incidentally I own some other domains, such as signupster.com, which redirect to my site. I wonder if a quick workaround would be to make that my main domain and have slotted.co redirect?

Obviously I prefer in the long terms that slotted.co is considered clean.

    Ask your customers to figure out what filtering system they use? Contact the filtering company and them request the site classification be checked.

    @DKNUCKLES It sounds more like he's talking about web filtering (to me), so I don't think MTAs have anything to do with it. Sep 11, 2012 at 20:57

  • Have you considered getting a domain name that doesn't look like it's for gambling? Long term you may find that to be the best and most reliable solution. Sep 11, 2012 at 23:03

You need to contact the vendors of the firewalls in question to get your domain re-categorized.

It's not listed as a gambling domain by Websense, so there's one off the list.

  • Any idea where you can get a list of these vendors?
