While I think this is an interesting idea, I am not sure I would be
willing to implement it on my servers. I dont like the idea that
mail to my servers can be denied based on a decision made by someone
else. Not that I think anyone would purposely blacklist a trustworthy
domain, but false positives are just too risky. I would rather receive
100 spams and not miss any valid mail than receive 10 spams and miss
an email from a prospective client. While I could deal with this
myself, it would bother me if I was rejecting mail for clients in this
manner. This is also the reason I dont use RBL's and why I stopped
using Vipul's Razor.
I hate RBL myself, it's completley useless. real spammers are never
added to the list, and they block legit people for teh stupidest things.
there isn't a good list out there.
just because one user of an isp is sending spam, the whole domain
gets blacklisted... uh huh, yeah that makes sense {sarcasm}
I realize I could sort through any such list before implementing it,
but that takes time, just like reading spam.
oh I agree. it does take time. and it comes down to a
who to trust issue.
Did I miss something?
perhaps you did. Just like those lists, NSI, and many other things,
is one major component... "We" have no control over it.
The only way I can explain it very well, is to start with the only
analogy I know of, but out of respect for the list, I won't mention
the website (that might be considered a cheap plug). And it has
nothing to do with spam, so its not appropriate.
But I will say this, a concept like this has been done, in another
area, and it works fairly well (given human beings are involved in
the actual process). :)
Dan.
PS Cory - I emailed you the info off-list
