If the whitelist involves possibly questionable business practices (trying to reserve judgment here), then the information that Neil provided _should_ be factored into any such decision. One thing is for sure, (extortionist or not) Barracuda (or whoever owns emailreg.org) is laughing its way to the bank. The more SA usage of its list, the more $$ that goes to emailreg.org... I'm sure that they will be very happy if/when BRBL gets added to SA by default. And to not factor this into such decisions... and turn a convenient blind eye... is tantamount to the SA community acting like a bunch of sluts... grabbing onto any freebee spam tool, regardless of these other implications. However, if it can be shown, after careful consideration, that everyone (or the SA powers that be) is OK with BRBL/emailreg.org business practices... that is one thing. But to sweep this under the rug is another very very sad and possibly unethical thing. > BTW, Neil, may I remind you...
