Apparently they don't want to receive Entanet newsletters any more so they feel the appropriate course of action is to pick one domain out of the entire newsletter and add it to a spam list as opposed to just unsubscribing from the newsletter.
If NoDPI.Org goes offline in the next 24 hours it is because we have not managed to resolve this issue. Our hosting provider take spam very seriously and have threatened to suspend our service should the issue not be dealt with within 24 hours.
Personally I think this wreaks of malicious intent, there is no way I can see a logical argument for reporting a single URL from a newsletter to a spam list as a valid or natural reaction to not wanting to receive the newsletter. One would expect the party to simply unsubscribe from said newsletter as opposed to taking offensive action against a single entity mentioned within the newsletter.
Needless to say the matter is being taken very seriously and Entanet have been contacted as well to help resolve the issue.
I apologise if there is any downtime.

Alex, when you pointed out to your hosting provider that the matter is in hand you may also mention that there is a huge group of IT specialists that visit your site and they are not lovers of spam either. They often are on the lookout for good 'cheaper' hosting companies for their sites and also good Phorm-Free broadband providers.
Personally I don't think knocking your site off-line unreasonably so would be very good PR for them in the cut throat hosting business.
