I agree, but they are in the business of doing this, with presumably thousands of customers. There is no rush.

Look at any of the mailing services out there… ie constant contact, mailchimp etc, and read the undeliverable data on a mailing you do. Some FW services simply block the server/service, not the content itself. If that happens, I don’t know of a workaround then anybody could do to make it work. AWS at least is HIGHLY anal about the whole process and so far, has not had a single instance of that. As long as there is a person to see that through troubleshooting through to completion and deal with it, then I guess you can try anything. That’s what it comes down to IMO. Not “a thing” to me at all.

From: Brian Carpenter Sent: Monday, March 06, 2017 4:52 PM To: 'Chuck McCown' Subject: RE: New Message (sent by contact form at dotList) We rarely get blacklisted and we do we work quickly with the providing doing the blacklist. We have not been on a RBL in years but we do have, on rare occasions, issues with a particular provider such as Yahoo. We fully support our list clients in all aspects of our services including delivery issues that may come up. We cannot control another provider marking a communication as spam. Typically it is the message content that causes such issues and we have nothing to do with the content of the messages being sent out.

Do you ever get blacklisted and what do you do about it? 2.. Do you offer support when someone says the “list isn’t working, I can’t get signed up, etc. etc.” ? and who interacts with them to bring about resolution? 3.. Do you deal with “firewalls” like Baracuda which are sometimes quick to mark things as SPAM?
