Lots of interesting commentary here. * Why do I use RBL's in the 1st place? Because I would much rather reject mail before it's received than after. If I filter it out after then they know that I have accepted it. The fact that they always try multiple times after a 500 series error code is just even more grating. If you don't run your own domain, then you really don't have access to this technique.
* Derek Martin said that you have no way of knowing if you've missed important mail. Not true: I get a report every morning showing what senders were rejected. (I just wasn't paying attention.) * Jeff Kinz says it's not important to make sure that you are accepted by all RBLs. I totally disagree on this one. You don't have to be accepted by an RBL but you should at least know why they are rejecting you and to have at least made the effort to try to clear up the conflict. Like I mentioned earlier, some RBLs base themselves on vastly different criteria. Some criteria are acceptable and some are not (to me). For example, I mentioned one RBL that rejects all clients of uunet. Another rejects all dynamic ip addresses. You have to decide what sets are right for you. This problem between easynet and codemeta issuch an incredibly small factor of how much I reject on a daily basis, that I would recommend anyone who wanted to use a good rbl to *start* with this one. -- -Time flies like the wind.
