That list explicitly states a few bad ideas IMO: 1) If you're in one of our "Supported Countries" and not on our whitelist, we blacklist you. 2) "What happens if a spammer registers an IPv6 address? At registration it’s only checked that an actual human is making the registration (through various questions/captchas). This list is NOT intended to create distinction between spamming mailservers and non-spamming mailservers. Hence if a spammer registers an IPv6 address, it will be accepted and it will not be removed from this list." But now, this is getting a bit off topic. [opinion] If anything, I think people should consider using this poorly thought list in postscreen with a low score and not a flat reject. Better, don't use it at all. [/opinion] Brian
