Interesting ... I didn't know that you could add a 'rejected' comment to the RBLs. Thanks for that.
I do not recommend the use of 'rejected' comment as it :
1- waste a lot of upward bandwidth, and swiching time 2- it tells the spammer that its mail hit something
With rejected information I would sent 1000's outbound email I do not whant my computer to overheat for spam.
You are confused. There is not sent email. the connection is rejected with a 550 error (I think it's a 550) and the comment as the text portion of the error. There is no more, or less, bandwidth usage than a generic reject error.
A reject also does not tell the spammer they hit anything other than a mail server that will not accept email from them. Also, it's just polite in the rare case that a real person gets into a blacklist (hey, it happened to my mail server, once) they know the mail was rejected and why.
Now, my comment message when I ran SIMS for the cn-kr blacklist was "Die Spammer SCUM" which, I admit, was not that useful. But, in my defense, I was getting hammered pretty hard by cn-kr spam attempts at the time, and not knowing any of the 1.5Billion people in China/Korea, I was not worried about pissing anyone off.
