Hi!
Also consider the invalument block lists, see http://dnsbl.invaluement.com/
A very, very good list that is usable for blocking. Not free, but
very affordable.
I don't like how involvement does their pricing structure, actually.
Firstly, I don't feel comfortable telling a 3rd party how many 'users' I
have. Secondly, I don't feel like determining what they consider a
'user'. Third, because of my HELO/EHLO restrictions and rejection of
unknown users I make FAR fewer RBL calls than most mailservers (I reject
about 87% of all connections, and 98% of those rejections are in
HELO/EHLO or unknown, Only 0.66% over the last week rejected by zen's
RBL), so if I used invalument, it would probably only be for a handful
of callouts per day but I would be paying the same amount as someone who
was using it to do many tens of thousands of callouts per day.
Sure, $20 a month is not a lot of money, but looking at my mail I figure that
would be costing me about 1/2 a cent per check, if not more (I average out
only about 1000 checks of zen per week), assuming I made exactly as many
checks to involvement as zen means slightly over 1/2 cent per check.
If you fee l20 USD is even to much, dont even bother. Its silly.
Then dont use it, make your own free BL ...
The pricing cant be the issue. Its insain cheap.
