I think that server (coloured) lists are but an easy way out for for those who either aren't willing or able to do spam mail feature analysis. Spam is spam, even when it comes from a respectable server that has been temporarily compromised. All the up-and-coming premium spam services shy away

And then there is SORBS, which the ETH use, who have chosen to put the shared server I use for mail on a blacklist for some reason. Everyone is going crazy about security, so you're likely to see a proliferation of providers offering to maintain blacklists, who will do it badly. Much better

I think that the use of spamhaus got pulled into the default setup for popular spam suites like spamassassin, which many operators running on a shoestring just update onto their systems with out too much critical review every time it comes out. Such behaviour perforce leads to a bump-and-steer

Adrian, Aren't you making an error in reflection (Überlegungsfehler)? If the provider on which one is guesting has a policy to block outbound access from their network to all ports used for sending of mail, so that they can force one through their SMTP server for sake of control,

RE: [swinog] to SPF or not to SPF
