Yes and No. IMHO, with evidence, most people using the bat to send our companies email are using it to send our clients uce/spam/por*n. I've yet to receive a valid email from anyone or any company (several years) that uses the bat to send email to our clients. Likewise, I've been know to filter an entire class C with as little as two ip's that have been rbl'd. Our email systems traffic is small for just a dozen compaines or so; but our ammount of uce/spam/por*n is around 80% (excluding several country wide ACL - class A blocks at the boarder router). Just as a thought I might just do an analysis on good/bad X-Mailer The Bat! Emails.. But then again..
