R's,

I wanted to buy spamhaus rsync feeds. our CFO looked at the contract,
where Spamhaus said they could disable the feed without notice if they
wanted to. (if they suspected you got hacked, were selling it, were a
spammer, weren't protecting it, allowed public access to it).
CFO told me we could not pay for something that could be disabled
without notice. Especially when I told him what would happen if we
relied upon it, and it was disabled. (you rsync data goes blank... )
I can understand them not wanting someone to give away public access to
it, or to resell it, but I also would think some notice, or a phone call
to ask what is going on would be in order before cutting something this
critical off.
Spamhaus needs to get out of 'everyone is my enemy' mode, but then
again, they get/got sued so much that they can't tell the difference
between a client and an enemy.
ps, idiot sonicwall firewalls enable the spamhaus RBL queries for
anything that hits port 25. even if you didn't know it. If you get a
spamhaus notice, and arn't pulling spamhaus rbls from their DNS, look at
your sonicwall.
