Good point. And I also wonder, how many emailreg payments were made by disparately frantic e-mail admins who normally don't ever send spam, but had a security problem that warranted their initial blacklisting, but where the security problem was already fixed. And I wonder how often those types would have been delisted anyways, but the sysadmin was disparate, rushed, and willing to do anything, including paying $20, under those circumstances? Additionally, I'd like to ask, other than being a superb cash-generating machine, what good is a whitelist built upon pay-to-enter and NOT based on editorial decisions made by non-biased e-mail administrators? At some point, pay-for-whitelisting will likely lead to FNs as well as "free passes" for dark-gray or blackhat ESPs. It may also lead to FNs the next time that same email admin I described has another security hole spewing out millions of spams months/years later. (do they then get a free pass due to the payment to emailreg?) <sarcasm>Really, I find this whole conversation quite bizarre. It reminds me of a joke I once made to my wife about how I felt led by the Lord to minister and share the Gospel to strippers at strip clubs. There'd be no lust or adultery involved on my part. Nahhhh. Just genuine concern about saving those lost souls. Likewise I'm sure emailreg.org is just a whitelisting service trying to give back to the community and help those poor innocent system admins from getting unfairly blacklisted in the future, right?</sarcasm> -- Rob McEwen http://dnsbl.invaluement.com/ r...@invaluement.com +1 (478) 475-9032
