Oh yes, I personally contributed to those words when I discovered that. And more when I discovered they also appear to be operating a service/site where you could pay to get "whitelisted" for a year per IP with auto-renewal and apparently difficulties at getting subscription cancelled. Seems like an incentive for them to be as indiscriminate with blacklisting as possible, as long as they have at least one piece of "spam" to back it up. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
