To clarify, "VOUCHED" should probably never have been used, as on its own it is 
probably one of the 
*least* useful metrics.  Without something else, like the "COI" bit, it means 
very little (however 
combined with other datapoints it can be very powerful). So using "VOUCHED" 
alone was never a good 
indicator of spaminess or lack thereof.

You are now looking at some of the following codes, which even on their own are 
VERY *strong* 
indicators of "not spam":

127.3.100.10     (means "any mailing list mail coming from this IP address is 
confirmed (double) opt-in")

127.3.100.100   (means "the only email which comes from this IP address is 
mailing list email, and that 
mailing list email is entirely confirmed (double) opt-in")

127.3.100.200   (means "the only email which comes from this IP address is 
one-to-one or transactional 
email. No bulk email is sent from this IP address")

The following are examples of senders whose email will elicit these responses 
upon an IADB lookup

First,  here are examples of senders whose mail gets a 127.3.100.200 response 
(the only email coming 
from the IP address is one-to-one or transactional;  no bulk at all):

http://www.eppointmentsplus.com/
http://www.wondermill.com/
http://www.getvendors.com/

So an email lookup for email coming from any of these guys' listed IP addresses 
will give the 
127.3.100.200 code, meaning it's one to one, or otherwise transactional email, 
and not bulk at all.


Some examples of fully COI lists whose mail will elicit a 127.3.100.10 or 
127.3.100.100 response:

Thanks!  We're excited about having our codes used like this -  it's the way we 
intended - in fact that's 
why Craig (Hughes) worked so hard with us to develop just this structure - so 
that programs like SA 
could take full advantage of it!
