I think that the use of spamhaus got pulled into the default setup for popular spam suites like spamassassin, which many operators running on a shoestring just update onto their systems with out too much critical review every time it comes out.
Such behaviour perforce leads to a bump-and-steer philosophy in spam handling. I'd be curious to know if it's still in the latest default setup for these tools. I had a problem with mail sent from a spamhaus.org blocked domain (yahoo.com!) last month. Whitelisted yahoo.com, and that was that. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Buchwalder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 10:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [swinog] spamhaus.org Hi all I don't unterstand, why someone should trust any Blacklist/Spamlist/whatelse and delete some mail, who may probably hit one of thouse lists. _Never_ /dev/null any mail, only weighting them, and if the wieght is much, then move it to a spamfolder on the recipients maildir.
