As an ISP, it isn't self-blacklisting that is the issue; if we get crap from other servers, depending on the situation, we may blacklist immediately. Once those limits are hit, you won't be getting mail here, legitimate or otherwise. AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc. all have similar technologies deployed. Having your own server doesn't matter. It's the IP address that is blocked, and while as an ISP I appreciate a client only risking their own server rather than ours, there is still a lot of work involved when that happens (complaints, etc.).
That kind of volume we would require that it be farmed out to a specialty company that deals with very large lists. --Ben On 8/8/2010 2:11 PM, Wil Genovese wrote: > The other moral of the story is to run your own mail server.
