Hmm. You don't say.
Went and had a look; this is one of those privately-maintained
blacklists where they have no idea who, if anyone, is using it. That
makes it hard for us to see if being listed there has much of an impact.
Of course postmaster@debian.org would know about it if list email was
being rejected with 553 or 554 for being Qwest spammers, right? =)
Anyone out there using that RBL is going to be throwing a lot of babies
out with their bathwater ... if I may be pardoned such a vulgar phrase.
Fortunately murphy.debian.org isn't listed in SPEWS, which indicates
that the Qwest-owned address block that murphy lives on hasn't been
convicted of spamming on n.a.n-a ...
http://www.spews.org/ask.cgi?x=65.125.64.134
If it was, I'd care a lot ... but I know that I, at least, would know
pretty much instantly if that were the case.
Thank you for bringing the matter to the attention of the Debian list
admins though; if someone chooses to send a politely-worded howl of
protest, the address at the other end is 'blackhole8@five-ten-sg.com'.
(For all my apathy over the listing, it looks like a fair bit of work
has gone into the 5-10-sg blackhole system, so I'm impressed about
that at least.)
Andrew.
