The fact that you have been greylisted or blacklisted means that "Project Honeypot" has determined that your IP has been connected with questionable activity. According to Project Honeypot:
- What is http:BL?
- Http:BL is a way for website administrators to take advantage of the data generated by Project Honey Pot and keep malicious or suspicious IPs off their websites. The service works by publishing DNS records for IPs we have seen conducting suspicious or malicious behavior online. Website administrators can then use this data in order to restrict access to their web servers for these IPs.
"Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use to scrape addresses from your website. Using the Project Honey Pot system you can install addresses that are custom-tagged to the time and IP address of a visitor to your site. If one of these addresses begins receiving email we not only can tell that the messages are spam, but also the exact moment when the address was harvested and the IP address that gathered it."
You can contact site administrators to get your IP address "whitelisted", this allows your IP to connect to their servers once again. In the case of Drupal use http://drupal.org/httpbl/whitelist The delay between submitting the request to become whitelisted and it actually happening will increase each subsequent time you get greylisted. Additionally ask for support in the IRC channel #drupal-infrastructure. Even if you can't access IRC directly for whatever reason you can access it easily using http://webchat.freenode.net/
Of course you could also use a proxy, something like www.hidemyass.com
In any case, I would run a full scan on your system to make sure you don't have any malware/etc running that could be carrying out spam or DDOS activities from your computer. This will result in your IP being greylisted again.
