:According to the records it is an open proxy and we do not allow IP edits from open Proxies (users can still edit via them). For me to have blocked it it will have been abused (it seems probable that it is a mail server so has no business being involved in editing actually). --[[User:Herbythyme|Herby]] ^{[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]} 17:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

::Digging around - it may not be an Open proxy per se however it has been used abusively to create spam bot accounts. I can argue that whoever owns it has "fixed" the software now so it could be unblocked. However the absence of rDNS suggests the owners are rather shy (majot cellular network?) and [http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_85.26.184.65 this] suggests that if we do unblock it it will simply get blocked again sometime in the future (honeypot is effective and reliable). --[[User:Herbythyme|Herby]] ^{[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]} 17:22, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
