Fix YOUR problem (obviously a problem) and there is no trouble sending and e-mail.
Jason, you don't seem to understand the point of http://www.declude.com/plea.htm .
Are you saying a business that is located in Japan is a problem (Japan is probably one of the top 5 countries as far as harvesting web addresses goes)? Are you saying that the Japanese business should move to the United States (which probably is the source of more spam than Japan) just because you aren't willing to block E-mail from the U.S.?
Of course, you are going to say that you don't block mail from Japan. But quite a few people are now blocking E-mails from specific countries. Quite a few people are now blocking E-mail from businesses that use cable or DSL connections. Quite a few people are blocking E-mail from servers that have no reverse DNS entries. Each of these tests by design has false positives (meaning that if it works as designed it will catch some legitimate E-mail), and each test has a varying degree of difficulty to get removed, and a varying degree of reasonableness (it is very reasonable to expect someone to stop a spammer that is using their mailserver, whereas it is not very reasonable to expect a business to move to another country, and switching Internet providers is somewhere in between).
In fact, we often develop new spam tests that by design have false positives. But they are NOT intended to be used to block E-mail. As http://www.declude.com/plea.htm points out, intentionally blocking legitimate E-mail without a very good reason (IE spam coming from that server) has enormous costs associated with it.
