You should not rule out entirely that they are just taking some time before actually replying. You should be able to find any any contact attempts from likely Samsung IP addresses in your spamd log. I have not used that particular blacklist myself, but the major issue with any list is how well it is maintained. I have yet to encounter blacklists which did not produce false positives, except (I am reasonably confident by now after almost one year) Bob Beck's traplist. The reason the traplist is so good is that it is rather aggressively maintained - no entry stays in there for more than 24 hours. Repeat offenders will of course be more or less permanently banned, but that is to be expected too. > Does anyone have a whitelist of the good (in the sense that they > don't spam) Korean and Chinese companies? Imagine the effort needed to maintain that list. I don't think such a list exists. In the situation you describe, I would seriously consider going for a pure greylisting config, or greylisting plus the traplist. -- Peter N. M.
