He provided a service with no exit strategy. The blame ought to be shared.

He did as you suggested for a couple of years. Turned down the service and the fqdn for the RBL, but after several years of that they kept hammering him. The DNS lookups alone on the old RBL fqdn/zone were a real pain for him. It was a massive number and he wanted to continue to use the domain without having to support the DNS infastructure for admins too lazy to turn off their lookups. He did not 'deny' mail flow to any users. The Administrators that were using a long defunct RBL denied their users mail flow. Please put the blame where it belongs. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matteson, John H Jr USA Mr USA 25th SigBN (ITT) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 10:00 AM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: spam listing > > Then why not just take down the service which **should** have returned > invalid queries to the companies that didn't pay attention.
