If you have the unlucky coincidence to be on shared mail hosting with a blacklisted site, *your* mail can be blacklisted too. Tortuous interference can get very ugly (read $$$) in the courts. I had this happen at a former employer. We lost sales and communications for two days. The owner got in a foul mood, and I'm sure the last words of any well-intentioned but naive sysadmin that got within stabbing distance would have been: "We need our own mailserv...aaaargh!" cheers, Stewart
