Isn't that the argument people make against SpamCop? If 1000 servers got mail from your server and one guy said you had spam from your server then Trustic wouldn't block you where SpamCop might because SpamCop doesn't give credit for all the good things your server has done. There's a learning period that goes in to any intelligent blacklist. Right now there are only about 350,000 IPs in their database. One of the top blocked sites only has 3 emails that were submitted to get it on the blocked list. It needs more volume to be accurate. I personally have 2000 records as negatives, and 37 records that I have submitted as positives to help with the accuracy. Those trusted dialup and broadband IPs are trusted because people have gotten mail but not gotten to submit the spam back to Trustic so the proper action is to trust them. Also your Trustic ranking controls how much your negatives count in the system. I'm a 0.33 ranking. If you are lower than your reports count for less towards making a server untrusted. -Josh --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
