No Ted - not customers or e-mail recipients, but the volunteer organizations that maintain blacklists. Many, many postmasters use these lists to block spam.
There are procedures that these maintainers have to get IP address ranges taken off the lists. Sadly no one at IBM has taken the initiative, or even determined why people are reporting IBM for spamming.

I e-mailed IBM and the response I got was basically "we're too lazy to contact the keepers of the blacklists to get this resolved." ... Now! Be fair! How can IBM go around and tell every customer how/what to change. That would be: A. Onerous. B. Expensive. C. Ignored (in many cases). It's up to you (and your company) to police your own firewalls and filters. Not IBM! For a laugh, though: The top of the message tells you what to do to ensure that you receive the iSource missives. Of course, I still haven't figured out how to follow instructions I haven't received. (8-{]} -teD In God we Trust! All others bring data! -- W.
