(rinse, repeat) This is mostly conjecture on my part but I think CC does some of the work for you. For years we did SMTP level rejects from roving.com hosts and this seemed to have blocked a lot of the CC crap.I think CC may segregate unknown/untrusted senders in roving.com rather than constantcontact.com. At any rate no one ever complained about the roving.com block until we had a customer who couldn't send themselves mail from their own lists. Knowing this customer only reinforces my theory because their lists are dirty as hell.

Here's mine:

That score is a bit extreme, but I've also found that a small positive
score is appropriate for constantcrap mail.

Indeed, and I wouldn't advocate anyone following *my* scoring, just
posted the rule as an example of one way to whack this particular mole :)
I chose the high score to counteract any dns whitelists or AWL negative
scoring etc that may otherwise rescue their crap from being marked as
spam on my system. If there's anything I particularly want I can
whitelist it, but the default action here is to tag and quarantine all
mail from Constant Contact. The high score probably also reflects my
level of frustration with them at the time I wrote the rule!

I don't think that's harsh at all Ned. I have a different solution:
#CHEETAH (EXPERIAN)
iptables -A FIREWALL -s 66.165.100.0/24 -j DROP
#CONSTANT CONTACT
iptables -A FIREWALL -s 63.251.0.0/16 -j DROP
iptables -A FIREWALL -s 66.151.234.144/28 -j DROP
iptables -A FIREWALL -s 208.75.120.0/22 -j DROP
#dotmailer offenders
iptables -A FIREWALL -s 80.87.10.0/30 -j DROP
iptables -A FIREWALL -s 80.87.10.4/31 -j DROP
iptables -A FIREWALL -s 80.87.10.6/32 -j DROP

thanks Ned,
i do have a coupla companies that use CC for email so i wont totally whack.
they are getting a bit to generous on those marking emails to me though.
umm side note, i spose to Tara...
is Constant Contact like the default email marketing system (or one of them)
for salesforce.com or whatever other large online customer management
software??? or do you own them or they own you or what is the scoop?

Someone recently developed an API to port your salesforce contacts to CC (same permission standards apply). There are a few others out there like Quickbooks I think who have built similar APIs. Any reason in particular? Tara
