Len, I appreciate your response. I keep on learning things and that is good. While I could nitpick about a few things, it wouldn't really do anybody any good, so I won't. Posting my numbers is also not going to help anybody; suffice to say I am happy with them for my business, but would always like to catch more spam.
I would like to comment briefly about this though: > The subscriber block is a little special though, due to who is known to > responsible for those networks. See my response to Sandy about the > "repercussions" of collateral damage, as tiny as it is (but the more MXs > that block subscribers, the better). For a business like mine, the collateral damage is two-sided. While it hopefully is a small step to encourage the big network operators to mend their ways, it has the potential to really harm my business. "This never happens with my ISP at home" or "my competitor got this mail, why didn't I?" are phrases that I never want to hear again if I can help it. So am I part of the problem by accepting mail from these sources? Somehow we need to get some true Internet movers and shakers to declare that all email servers on such-and-such a date should reject mail from all mailservers that don't have reverse DNS or have problems a, b and c. If I knew that 90% of my competitors were doing the same thing, I'd be there in a heartbeat. It would be great.
