 Hello,
 Unfortunately I have nearly the same situation as descripted 4 months ago
 in my ticket number #5354

 I wrote:
 -------------------------------
  Hello, I'm using openstreetmap with the Firefox Browser Version
  40.0.3. As of today the access to nominatim has blocked.
  I don't understand the reason, in have no info about an abnormal
  usage or other in the user policy desribed violations.
  My IP-Adress is 88.217.184.87

  Would you like please to unblock my IP-Adress and to give me a
  information about the reason of the blocking?

  Thank you very much.

 -------------------------------
 Your reply was:
 -------------------------------
  This was caused by some bad server configuration which has been
  fixed in the meantime.

  Apologies for the inconvenience.
 -------------------------------

 Currently I'm using Firefox V44.0 ...
 I tried to search a Town via nomination e.g. Montevideo embedded in my
 browser window openstreetmap
 (URL http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/48.00000/11.00000)
 an I got an error:
 "Error contacting nominatim.openstreetmap.org: 429"
 The different compared to to ticket #5354 is, a direct search
 in nomination was able and does work.

 I would like to ask you again:
 Would you like please to unblock my IP-Adress again?
 What is the reason for the blocked IP?
 My IP-Adress is 88.217.184.87

 Thank you.
