why the hell should I, or anyone else, have to go out of my way to inform some third party how large the ISP i work for is? or how much mail volume passes through the mail server. even ignoring the fact that that could be commercial in-confidence information, isn't the act of demanding that just as bad as "reply with REMOVE to unsubscribe"? what happens next week when rival company spampig starts up, followed by spambusters inc, and a dozen more competitors over as many weeks. should i have to submit my details to all of them just because they want to run a business? > It seems that everyone who's complaining about spamcop has not done > so. Using a DNSBL without taking note of the proceedures for using it > (in this case informing them of the size of a big ISP that seems to > get hit too easily) is not the smart thing to do... the people who are complaining about spamcop are NOT using it. the people complaining are those who have been adversely affected by spamcop's idiot automation. there are many RBLs around. some good, some bad. spamcop is one of the worst. at least the other RBLs have technical criteria for being listed - i.e. running an open relay or proof of being a repeat spam source. by contrast, even forged Received: headers can get you listed in spamcop's RBL. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fabricati Diem, PVNC. -- motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
