Why don't you check any black lists you or your ISP has configured to see if
they've blocked samba.org? Seems to be the logical move.

I don't know about the administrators of samba.org, but a lot of people don't
believe in black lists. The admins probably don't even know if they've been
black listed or not.

Now that I think of it, I seem to recall hearing that samba.org *was* black 
listed [1] a while back - not for something they had done though. Rather, I 
think it was to do with many black listing site's penchant for black listing 
whole blocks of IP addresses. The theory being that if you were innocently 
black listed because of someone else using the same ISP, you would switch away
from said irresponsible ISP.

Simple as that...

Maybe the samba.org admins don't care for black listing anymore?

Disclaimer: I don't represent samba.org admins in anyway, and it's pure
conjecture on my part as to their potential opinion of black listing. Just
in case I step on someone's toes ;) I'd make a really *bad* lawyer.
