RE: [IMail Forum] invURIBL

Title: Message

Just because a URI is listed does not mean they are spammers. I can see a day when a way to hurt a comapny is to send out spam with their domain name as a link just to get them listed in URI databases.   Some of these services get listed because people are too lazy to remove themselves from a list they signed up for. I have many friends and my wife that have reported a legitimate mailing they signed up for because they are too lazy to unsubscribe. I do not get it it is normally faster to unsubscribe than report something as spam.   I had one of our executives report a message as spam lat week from a company we do business with. He was too lazy to even read the message to see that it was a legitimate message.   Unless it is our URI list then outright deleteing is not an option for us. But every server situation is different. What is spam to you may not be spam to me. So I like to get a concensus. If more than one source thinks a message/URI is spam then I may delete.     Kevin Bilbee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matrosity Hosting Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 11:37 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] invURIBL if those services are listed for spamming then that's the only way to deter them from being so. I'm tired of making exceptions for people that are actually spammers and just happen to have a legit client. Kevin Bilbee wrote: We have seen false positives. Especialy in bulk mail mostly legitimate mail services that many of the fortune 500 companies use. Also when a smaller company sets up a mailing on one of these same services.   Not a good idea to just outright delete on any single test.   Kevin Bilbee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Matrosity Hosting Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 8:22 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] invURIBL I was hoping to delete based on invURIBL since I have yet to find a false positive in over 3800 emails.
