Actually, Spamcop *DOES* work that way sometimes, and in this particular case, it did. House of Fusion was blacklisted because of DNS and hostname issues, as Michael has already pointed out. When I looked up the IP address, it said it was the DNS mismatch that caused it to be blacklisted, because spamcop feels that any mail server trying to masquerade as another host with a different IP address is probably a spammer. > I am a big fan of RBLs, but I very much question the wisdom of > using SCBL to block email.

One spam report to spamcop doesn't cause you to get blacklisted. I block the spamcop listed email for two main reasons. #1 - my users don't want to do their own filtering #2 - if someone (a person not a list) sends legitimate email and their mail server is listed in spamcop, they'll get a bounced message that tells them why. That's actually better than the mail being accepted and thrown into a spam folder, because the original sender gets immediate feedback. I suppose we're *WAY* off topic here =) Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232863 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
