As a person who was placed on a blocklist when I am *not* sending out spam, I can absolutely verify the comment about non-responsiveness. I've tried to submit my information to OsiruSoft via the e-mail listed on their website, telephone, and posting on mail abuse newsgroups inviting them to do whatever scans they feel necessary in order to be assured that i am not spamming and still they refuse to respond. The end result is that my company's e-mail is being blocked, therefore our business is being interfered with. We try to send e-mails to sales prospects and existing customers and can't get the info through. That should represent some type of liability because it is absolutely cutting into our revenue stream. I'm on the brink of trying to decide whether it's worth it to try to sue someof these people myself. OsiruSoft is being just as irresponsible as the spammers in their refusal to put the situation right. If you were only spamming for a few hours you may be spared! this drudgery, but you may also suffer some longer-term effects which are not evident right away if you got picked up by the wrong people.

Generally, however, many people find that the first step, after identifying both spammer and beneficiary, is to sternly notify the upstream provider of the beneficiary. That may help, as many networks prefer to avoid being placed on blocklists due to non-responsiveness.
