Not responding fast enough or not responding at all will get your ISP blacklisted right quick by a number of RBLs. What gets me is RBL bounces provide information on what happened, give you a URL for more information *and* an email address to bitch at. You want to get out of the bit bucket? Wake your ISP's abuse department up. Doesn't work? Switch ISPs, they're not serving your needs. > Don't get me wrong. Anything that will hurt the spammers is a GoodThing > (tm).

One list member snidely suggested Lemme know if you want my rejectlogs in private email, I'll send them to you and you can judge for yourself. > This subject has knotted my shorts from time to time for quite a while > and this thread brought out the soap box.

Mail abuse in general has been knotting my shorts for a few years now, I think I've found the perfect blend of RBLs that cuts most of the crap. -- Baloo
