Grrr. Why are spam slanderers and virus scammers allowed to interfere
with Debian ?
Debian 10 installs a Firefox which accuses Debian ISOs of being malware
and now our mailing list asks URIBL about the reputation of people's ISPs.

  "Can you tell me why my domain is blacklisted?
   No. [...]"

I did not find a page yet where they would sell permissions to spam.
But an honest libel service is nearly as bad as a bribable one.

We cannot stop them, but we should not support them by including their
info in spam decisions of Debian lists.


Have a nice day :)
