Are you going to trust (l)[EMAIL PROTECTED] to tell you who is and isn't a spammer? How about that psycho guy you saw at the movie rental place last week? Those are just some of the wonderful people who report to and maintain various RBLs. And you're going to block what may be a critical sales order or customer service request based on their say so?
An RBL, like communism is nice in theory. In practice, they leave more than a little to be desired. Once e-mail becomes more than a nice to have for a business, RBLs become a potential liability. An admin who knows what they are doing, combined with software which doesn't completely suck might be able to use them to some level of positive effect, but that'd be the exception rather than the rule. > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:hummertc@;noghri.net] > Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 3:57 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: RBL's > > > Ok please explain. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:bounce-exchange-97309@;ls.swynk.com] On Behalf Of Chris Scharff > Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 1:49 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: RBL's > > > 97.25% of mail admins are too stupid to understand what an > RBL actually is/does.
