They are saying "If the ISP does not *reasonably* control abusive traffic, it is *at risk* of being blocked by other ISPs."
Always looking for ways to weasel out, aren't you?
How can any MX admin interpret the huge volumes of long-standing, current, and increasing crap spewing from these ever-enlarging networks as an indication that the networks operators are "reasonably" policing their networks?? He simply cannot.
So you stick to your previous statement that AOL and Australia and the United Kingdom and Mexico should all be blocked?
You're the only one I've seen who is reading ASTA as wimping out with "let's warn these longstanding, egregious violators just now, and then wait for many months to see if anything changes, before we block".
... and you're the only one I've seen who is reading ASTA as saying [1] blocking ISPs definitely should occur, [2] that it should occur very fast, [3] that it should encompass responsible ISPs (AOL) and large countries, [4] the goal of ASTA was to warn ISPs that they are going to be blocked any day now (the real goal, in my reading, was to push the ISPs to police themselves).
Let's block Brazil, too! Japan, Mexico, Israel, Argentina, Australia and the United Kingdom must be Evil, too.
"Your MX, your policies"
That's Len talking, not ASTA talking. You came up with a list of domains that you pretended were not "ASTA compliant", and implied that according to ASTA, it's fine to block them immediately. Now you're admitting that it isn't ASTA, it's just ultra-strict anti-spam settings that you are advocating ("Your MX, your policies" is not ASTA).
but you're telling people that they should block AOL and all of Australia
I'm telling no one to do anything. I posted a list, period.
... and implied that people following ASTA's recommendation should block all those networks. You may not be telling, but you're urging. You'd be surprised how many people you influenced into using your "subscriber networks" list that were very upset when they found out the legitimate E-mail that it was blocking.
btw, your IP provider Verizon is in position 9 on the list of spewers.
... and your IP provider is #3 on the list (GO-2-EUROPE 24.227.147.224/28, or rrcs-sw-24-227-147-227.biz.rr.com, ). So? I thought lower numbers were better (and best was not being no your blacklist).
