If your company or email provider use such services as SPEWS to block SPAM emails then you will NOT BE ABLE to receive emails from acky.net.
The net block that Acky.net and ShellSearch.com are on have been blocked by SPEWS. After repeated attempts to have it removed we were unsuccessful. They told US to tell our provider to stop spaming. Even though NO spam has come from our IP Address / Domain or Net block, they decided it would "cool" of them to add it to their systems. They purposely block customers of the spammers making it their job to stop the spammer.
If you wish to signup for the forums or add yourself to the acky.net Shell Search: You must make sure that either SPEWS is turned OFF or make sure that ACKY.NET and Shellsearch.com IP address are not located on your list.
If you do not remove it, you will not be able to create accounts or receive updates from acky.net.
We can assure you that no unwanted emails come from these addresses. Any unwanted emails you recieve you always have the option to opt-out of.
