If we receive any type of opt-in, opt-out, junk mail, adult oriented mail and/or bulk mail from any unknown internet address or unrecognized internet service we will place them in the list. This list is not a blacklist, it is an active live list that contains a mixture of spam addresses as well as open relay addresses. The list is live because it is constantly managed by a special program. This program reviews the list every day. It adds new addresses and removes old addresses by a predetermined date. If an address becomes inactive it will be removed after X number of days, however, if the address is still active it will be updated and kept in the list. In any case this list is free and must be used with caution. The list was created for Declude, an Anti-Junk mail application and it was meant to be used with a weighing system. A weighing system applies weight values, these value could be negative or positive and would be applied to an incoming message. The more tests the message fails the higher the weight value. Eventually this weight will cause the message to be placed on hold for a person to examine and determine the type of message it is, be it spam or legitimate. > I would respectfully request you to remove the block on outblaze > and contact me with any issues that led to this block being imposed. The reason outblaze was added is simple and clear, someone with an outblaze address sent one or more of our mail services bulk mail. We consider bulk mail to be spam, regardless of how the address was obtained. We have a ZERO tolerance toward this type of mail and we work with many ISPs in an effort to put an end to it. Fortunately for outblaze, we have not received any activity within the last month. Although this is pre-mature, we will remove it from our list. Again, I must reiterate, this list is not a blacklist and if another company chooses to use it as one, then that's their problem. Even though we allow others to share our list (at their own risk of-course) we are not in the business to fight spam and we are not an anti-spam organization such as SpamCop. We are a local computer corporation providing a variety of services, such as Internet, Networking, and Consultation.
