I am also interested in finding some sender reputation list like this. I also had a similar experience trying to get senderscore to work. I picked up the phone and called them a few weeks ago. I think initially senderscore's goal was as you (and I) thought, to score senders such that bad senders could be blocked. But that's not what they do now. What they do now is enable marketeers to get into people's inboxes by telling the marketeers' what *their* score is relative to the person or group they are targeting. It's your sendsender score, not the other way around. I am still looking for a sender reputation list, if anyone has recommendations, please share! Michael Grant
