Third try on this one - first two bounced as spam:
You can imagine how often something as generic as utility world gets
spoofed, and then blacklisted by these spam bots. I go for days at a time
without being able to post to lists on qth.net. The problem is that
administration has chosen a very extreme implementation of
spamcop/sorbs/etc. Here's spamcop's own warning about why you might not
want to do it this way:
>The SCBL aims to stop most spam while not blocking wanted email. This is a
difficult task. It is not possible for any blocking tool to avoid blocking
wanted mail entirely. Given the power of the SCBL, SpamCop encourages use of
the SCBL in concert with an actively maintained whitelist of wanted email
senders. SpamCop encourages SCBL users to tag and divert email, rather than
block it outright. Most SCBL users consider the amount of unwanted email
successfully filtered to make the risks and additional efforts worthwhile.
>The SCBL is aggressive and often errs on the side of blocking mail. When
implementing the SCBL, provide users with the information about how the SCBL
and your mail system filter their email. Ideally, they should have a choice
of filtering options. Many mailservers operate with blacklists in a "tag
only" mode, which is preferable in many situations.
