Concur with that ! The helpful ISPs are Exodus, Verio, and theres another that eludes me but when Im looking through yesterdays rejected emails and i see directemailfactory.com 20 times to 10 diff users and I look up the IP on ARIN and get uunet (example it may not be this particular spam farm) thats it, end of info. Same with AT&T and Sprint They suck I dont care if they get their palms greased, but let me have the knowledge i need to keep the crap out of my LAN at my perimeter. I just dont see how that is unreasonable (I guess AT&T disagress with me from their lack of response when I wrote that nasty-gram to every executive on the shareholder info page) but I have to go for accountability. rfci should consider good faith efforts by a victim of the jerk offs I've just described. BUT as rfci admin stated the point of rbls is to coax out the bad behavior for the good. I believe in the open relay rbls and have had to white list one or two parties that we deal with that landed in there. I expect to do so again, after I whitelist, I email the admin, and our CEO and ask the admin to close the relay that we are lowering our security posture so we can allow mail from him, and I would appreciatte their help in closing the relay and getting back to me when theyre finished. Usually works after they get over the initial embarasment/denial phase. two more cents -A
