Re: my website problem

I forgot to mention the message from Mark Charette. That message refers to his company filters flagging your IP range.

If you use a hosting company that "bundles" other websites on a single server (many do), then any website within that IP range assigned to that server can get all of the websites flagged.

So - someone on your server could be running a link farm or mal-ware based advertising is running on their site without their knowledge and filter companies blacklist potentially harmful website IP's. Now with a large corporation email system such as Ford Motor Company, it is quite common for the company to use blacklist filter lists in order to flag or block potential threats.

It most likely has nothing to do with your website at all. And most companies or individuals would not have aggressive email or web-browsing filters that would block access.

It appears that Ford is running their own server and internet access system or they pay a company to run it and have aggressive filters on access to websites or IP addresses.

There isn't really anything to be done about that since web-browsing filters are subjective at best and are not, by any means, accurate. Filters are just a stab in the dark at trying to avoid potentially harmful web sites that can infect a company or individual server system.
