actually, it's the second time i've responded to your cretinous

the same problem occurs for anyone unfortunate enough to use a clueless
or spamhaus ISP. it's got NOTHING to do with the fact that it's asian.
spamhaus and open relay ISP's *MUST* be blacklisted regardless of what
continent they are on.
the answer is the same regardless: FIND A CLUEFUL AND HONOURABLE ISP.
if you don't want to do that then you'll just have to accept the fact
that some sites are going to reject your mail. tough luck. shit
happens. deal with it.

irrelevant. like many people i don't want mail from any open relay or
spamhaus, regardless of what continent they happen to be in.
> How narrow minded.
how selfish of you to insist that fighting spam is less important than
your decision to use a clueless or spamhaus ISP.
