I'd have thought it went something like "Facebook's servers; Facebook's rules". They don't have to allow any content they don't want, and if they had a spam coming from an URL they're probably going to block that.

It's unfortunate that a company's customer got that whole company banned from Facebook. It could be a lot worse - all those networks could share data about who they've banned and the company could be banned across Twitter and etc as well.

Here at Cabanova we take abuse complaints very seriously and take down any phishing / spam sites, our users make. It's the same as banning gmail.com if some user sent a SPAM mail.

It's a shame that Facebook takes so long to answer or give feedback to it's support requests. I know there are probably many support requests but this is unacceptable behavior.

Very many sites get blocked because of the actions of their users.

A quick websearch found this:-

I don't know anything about how Facebook works, but that's enough to have you in some email blocklists for some time.\

No. It is frustrating for you, but it is not unacceptable. They've had malware / spam / phishing coming from your domain. They've blocked your domain. That's good behaviour.
