Contact Information for Road Runner Security, Abuse, and Spam
Issues
If you need to contact someone about a security, abuse, or spam
issue directly involving Road Runner, then use the information
on this page to find the best contact point for your issue. Even
if you're currently blocked from sending email to Road Runner,
the email addresses on this page will always accept your email.
To avoid delays in having your issue addressed, please try to
pick the email address that seems most appropriate for your
particular situation. Rest assured that we will do our best to
make sure that your complaint gets routed to the correct mailbox
regardless of where you send it; however, some of the processes
for reading these mailboxes are automated ones, and misdirected
mail may be discarded without a human at Road Runner ever reading
it.
Internet Service Providers who are experiencing a denial of
service attack should contact Road Runner Security via the Road
Runner NOC via commonly available methods (whois).
If you are not an Internet Service Provider, please utilize the
appropriate email method described below or contact your ISP, who
should then contact us.

If You Are a Road Runner Customer Who Wants To Complain About
Unsolicited Email Received In Your Road Runner Mailbox...
spamblock@postmaster.rr.com is the mailbox to which you should
send your complaint. Your
complaint must include all of the Internet headers from
the message in question, so that the source of the spam can be
determined and blocked, if appropriate. Internet headers are
not usually displayed in the mail client software that you use
to read messages; the method to reveal them is unique to each
mail client software. Instructions for displaying them for
different clients can be found at this
link.
An Important Note Regarding Unsolicited Email Complaints
In an effort to provide better service to our customers,
we are forwarding some complaints we receive to other ISPs and senders
who have signed up for feedback. Your email address will be removed from
any complaint we forward; however, since the process of forwarding the
complaints is automated, we must ask that you please do not include
any personal information (full name, street address, phone number,
account information, etc.) in your spam complaints.
Other rules for submissions to spamblock@postmaster.rr.com include:
- Only one complaint per message to spamblock@postmaster.rr.com.
- Any message sent to spamblock@postmaster.rr.com must be from
a Road Runner-hosted email address. That is, the mailbox
to which the spam was delivered must physically reside on
a server managed by Road Runner, and that message must have
been delivered to your Road Runner mailbox without having
been forwarded there from some other remote account under
your control.

If You Are Attempting To Send Email To a Road Runner Customer,
And You Believe That You Are Being Blocked By Road Runner...
...then this web page will contain
all the information you will need to know about your situation
and what you can do. If you're sure you're being blocked, and
you have an error message in hand, you can request that the
block by lifted at this website.
A Note To Road Runner Subscribers: The blocks that we use to control the flow
of email into are system are targeted at servers and networks,
not at individual people or their email addresses. If we are
currently refusing legitimate email from a correspondent from
whom you wish to receive email, it is because the server or
network from which your correspondent is trying to send this mail
is being blocked. Circumstances like these are unfortunate, but
sometimes do occur. As such, we will deal with any removal requests that we receive in a
manner that is consistent with keeping as much unsolicited email
as possible out of our system; please understand, however, that
we cannot make exceptions for individual senders using blocked
servers or networks.
