Are they part of Topica?

Nick,

Any list service of moderate or large size will leak spam, some more, some less, but it's fairly bad wherever you go because the spammers tend to have the larger lists, but probably only represent the minority of their customers.

Roving.com (ConstantContact), bCentral, some of Topica, etc. all experience these issues. There is no magic bullet to solving this issue. You either block some legitimate E-mail or you allow through some spam. Since my first priority is to deliver the good E-mail, I choose to leak a bit of the spam. Content based filters are best for this type of thing. Sniffer will tag some payload domains that are separate from the provider (but you might have to remove some of the provider rules in your rule base if they false positive), and tools that do SURBL type lookups can be useful in separating the wheat from the chaff, though they also tend to false positive on the provider's domains on occasion. Using IP-based RBL's to differentiate between the good and the bad here is a losing battle, and the results are inconsistent because of things like SpamCop.

This was a huge issue for me along with legitimate bulk-mail because there is hardly a resource out there that doesn't have false positive issues on this content. My solution was to identify all such companies by way of IP space and reverse DNS entries so that I could disable the IP4R tests (by giving credit back), and then just simply relying on content/payload filtering to take care of the spam that might come from them. This was a ton of work and there are new additions to my lists all the time, but it has paid off for me.

Does anyone have a list of newsletter [revdns?] senders that are trusting to not send spam that they would be willing to share? I send quite a bit of time trying to figure out if some emails are actuall valid - for example stuff from roving.com, etc.

Thanks!
