As you can see, anyone can make it into a single blacklist.
sh!t happens
Just about every spam database has had at least one false positive
and this is some kind of catastrophe to be avoided at all costs?
and just about every legitimate mailserver has made it into at least one spam database at one time or another.
and the huge benefits of RBL servers vastly outweigh such minuscule, temporary mistakes.
For all the valid rejects by RBL servers, how many legit rejects are there?
You've fallen for Len's statistics. :)
You've insulted Les and all IMGate users as if they are soporific rats following a Pied Piper's tune into hell. Stop your FUD.
IMGate admin run their own severs, set their own policies and filters, read the detailed reports about what's going on, and make their own decisions about what IMGate does for them.
since i have been using RBL's i've had less than a dozen false positives.
That you know of. :)
FUD. He knows what he knows, and his IMGate is not a disaster or wildly blocking tons of legit mail, or he nor anybody else would be using it.
the using-A-record-when-MX-exists bug 100%). Then, I have to check to see if we were blocked for some dumb reason (there hasn't been a good reason yet).
declude's server is on a charter subscriber net (that for some reason will not relay its outbound through Computerized Horizons non-subscriber IPs), and subscriber IPs are guilty of spamming until proven innocent.
At that point, I say "screw this" and walk away, no longer offering free advice. ... but the Internet as a whole loses out.
oh, really?? The Saviour puts down His Cross and Interet goes to Hell, is that it?
If you don't think the Internet as a whole would lose out (some people don't), that's OK
thanks, we'll be OK then.
-- you can just picture the same scenario with someone else that offers free advice.
There's plenty of free advice, unpaid, available, everyday, from 1000's of excellent people. Internet will struggle on without yours and your self-serving hubris and inane FUD.
