W2KNews doesn't seem to care much about RBLs. I've talked to Stu a couple of times over the past couple of years about this due to their being listed on some, but they've never done anything about it. Right now they're listed on MAILPOLICE-BULK and SBL, and also have the CMDSPACE flaw. That's enough to push them over our hold limit.
They're more interested in pushing the product you mentioned, which uses content filtering and internal white and black lists. The interesting thing is those internal white and black lists are absolute at the account level and might as well be RBLs that are acted on singly, without any concept of weighting to see if combined tests justify the RBL listing! Definitely not s good as the weighting concepts many of us use.

Instead of blaming the guys running RBL's how about blaming RoadRunner for using a fire and forget concept of spam control without appearing to actually monitor what their filters are trapping or even blaming Kennedy Space Center for running servers that are probably open to abuse by a spammer. No one is making RR (or any of us) use those RBL's so it is up to RR (and us) to monitor and adjust our filters as needed as well as do what we can to minimize the potential for abuse by spammers. It is stupid to be talking about suing the RBL's ----------- RBL's Shutting Down Kennedy Space Center Spam Blockers Continue To Cause DOS At Kennedy Space Center. --- [This E-mail scanned by Citizens Internet Services with Declude Virus.] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
