They all were clients or persons who sent me email to get info about my services.
What can I do now?
Never happened such a thing...
Unless you give me a compelling reason not to, I may ignore your removal requests. Legal threats will be published on Usenet and on this Web site for public review. Any and all email sent to any address @blackholes.us is subject to public disclosure whether you have a statement against it or not.
Why Are You Being Blocked?
Under normal circumstances, I would say that these lists aren't used for much more than email tagging and spam research and not to worry about it, but in your case it seems verio.blackholes.us is being used to reject quite a lot of email recently. Maybe this is why or maybe some are slow to forget. Whatever the reason, blackholes.us does not reject mail sent to systems that are not my own. The data has many uses, only one of which is SMTP blocking. Other system administrators use this data at their own risk and are responsible for how it is used on their systems.
Please contact your ISP if this does not make sense to you.
What Can You Do About Being Blocked?
Contact your ISP and request IP address reassignment to a non-Verio allocated address space.
Change your ISP.
Request your own allocation from the appropriate Internet registry (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC)).
If you wish to contact the administrator of the network blocking you, I suggest having your ISP do it - as too many requests to a system admin may make them unhappy.
If there is an error in the listing (such as reassignment) please contact verio@blackholes.us if and only if your WHOIS data has been updated with ARIN.
What NOT to do About Being Blocked
Complain to me. There are no reasons to deviate from the stated objectives of the list or compromise the accuracy of the data.
Update
The good news is that Verio is apparently working to clear out many of their spamming customers. Although this will have no short-term impact on the existance of the list, hopefully fewer networks will feel the need to use it to reject mail.
Have a look at [blackholes.us...]
My hosting is contactins blackhole.us
But some questions?
In first what is the right way to send a mail to a list without causing problems (to me and them)?
I used a soft but seems that is not good.
Second: who are VERIO and blackhole.us and what they have to do with sendin emails? Never though any org but my ISP or my hosting would complain at me or even block my services...
Don't undesrtant very well the situation but I guess someone didn't like my newsletter sent.

I periodically send emails to my users in a similar fashion that you did. Done this for years and never had a problem. Your ISP saying there is "no problem" is a common "dismissal" statement, kinda their way of saying "I don't know/care".
Try changing ISPs completely as suggested before. It is what I would do.
Since putting the notice up, the number of bounced emails has diminished to zero, so it seems to have made people think about what they're doing. (I know I'm tempting fate by making this claim, but what the hey. I like living dangerously, and hate my inbox being filled with bounced emails;))

Verio, now owned by NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp), which provided Internet connectivity and routed the sendmail blackhole checks for maps.vix.com and mail-abuse.org (both are configured on the same ip 204.152.184.74).
Sometime after the Japanese connection was exposed on our pages, the Verio NTT route mysteriously disappeared. You may read the full story by clicking HERE: [dotcomeon.com...]

The Nippons recently struck at John Gilmore, a free speech advocate and co-founder of the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation, best known for the Blue Ribbon Campaign). You may read all about it on his toad.com web site [toad.com...]

all routes lead to Metromedia
Verio connected the former M.I.B.H. (mibh.net), one of Vixie's companies. M.I.B.H. was a "network outsourcing provider offering full-service management of business Internet connectivity solutions". Connectivity indeed! Like MAPS is one of their connectivity solutions... to break your connectivity!

"There will be a day when folks will need to pay to transit email. "(Paul Vixie, 1998)
"An organization called Vixie Enterprises, headed by founder Paul Vixie at vix.com, now effectively controls a "blackhole" list of SMTP servers that is built into new versions of sendmail, which refer directly to servers controlled by Vixie (click HERE to view the relevant sendmail source code extracted from the latest sendmail-8.11.1 and HERE to view a vendor's implementation). Under the guise of battling spam, ISPs are coerced into unconditionally obeying the Vixie prescribed setup, which dictates that an SMTP server on the Internet should be configured to only accept messages from those clients that use the ISP's local dial-up to send email! Those that do not conform to these new "rules" are blacklisted as "open relays", under the MAPS RSS project.
The little MAPS charity is likely a front; for Vixie's de-facto enforcement arm is his employer, Metromedia Fiber Network (NASDAQ: MFNX), their AboveNet Internet subsidiary, and their "neutral" PAIX exchange."
[Comment from me AB Guess what: the director of MFNX is nobody else than ... David Rockfeller ... who filled for MFNX bankruptcy and ask for reimbursement for the cost of producing the documents :D]

NEW YORK - Doers and doings in business, entertainment and technology.
After six decades running the world's biggest banks, promoting American interests abroad and giving millions to charity, the last thing you would want for your golden years is to be pestered by the Securities and Exchange Commission. But that's happening to David Rockefeller. The 88-year-old financier was subpoenaed to supply documents related to an investigation of bankrupt Metromedia Fiber Network. The former chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank served as a company director from 1997 until 2001, and sat on the teleco's audit committee. The firm announced it would restate 2001 results after filing for Chapter 11 in May 2002. The SEC began investigating the Metromedia Fiber Network's revised loss of $5.36 billion a month later. Word of the subpoena was made public after Rockefeller filed court papers asking for reimbursement for the cost of producing the documents. Rockefeller could probably pay for all fees involved out of his own pocket--he has an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion.
"Just around the time when Paul Vixie sold his M.I.B.H. (Men In Black Hats/Helicopters) company for $51M to Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc. (NASDAQ:MFNX), he registered the UNNWO domains. Note that the United Nations New World Order address is the same as the one given for MAPS (Mail Abuse Prevention System) and Vixie Enterprises headquarters. Vixie's instructions for blackholed ips now flow through unnwo.net named ips. Vixie owns and pays for these domains himself. "
