Hi Matt:
 
What is a "static" spammer?
 
I've looked into a few in the past week and they all were obviously were
marketing mail companies (such as in this case, mta8br.cmpgnr.com
[69.28.223.132]) - and, of course, the mail account that we receiving the
spam was never subscribed there.

Andy,

That result code is neither a whitelist or a blacklist, it is merely an
indication that legitimate E-mail has been received in quantity from that
IP.  Due to the fact that spam levels are approaching 99% of connection
traffic these days (not the same as message volume), it is not uncommon to
find that places that send a lot of good E-mail also send a lot of spam from
time to time.

This particular result code is most useful in the context of Alligate, but
it has little value when used simply as an IP4R test within Declude.  You
can however assume with a high degree of confidence that you won't be
receiving zombie generated spam from this result code unless it was
forwarded or in a very rare occasion, the server itself is hacked.  You can
also fairly safely assume that this will not be a static spammer.  It can
however be a bulk-mail provider that leaks some spam, or a real E-mail
service that has Advance Fee Fraud users (Hotmail for instance), or service
providers that are forwarding E-mail, or possibly forwarding phishing on
behalf of hacked servers in their network.

Matt

Is it me - or should MXRate-Allow be treated as a "spam source" list?
 
I don't know how many times I've looked at Spam that made it through and the
IP is on their whitelist, such as "campaigner".
