>What is the position of the industry on these issues.. I am sometimes asked for our opinion on which "address verification" service we might recommend when providing our deliverability consulting service, usually as part of launching a new customer for our software. If they are also hosted on our network (our "cloud" solution) I point out that, if they intend to upload and send to a washed list, we will know about it almost immediately, and will notify them that they have been terminated for AUP violations. For others ("on prem" solution), depending on my mood and the apparent character of the customer (total babe-in-the-woods, ambitious newbie, seasoned spammer) I tend to ask how much money they have to waste. You are paying someone else to burn down their IP range determining whether some finite quantity of spamtrap addresses are valid at RCPT TO time. One poor sod, who gave up after a major network provider toasted their account due to Spamhaus, SpamCop, SORBS, and other issues, noted in sorrow that he had spent close to $5K getting to that point. Perhaps he can take up chinchilla ranching. mdr -- "There will be more spam." -- Paul Vixie _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
