Whether it's appropriate for the xpert list to partipcate in the social pressure aspect of DNSBLs (RBL is a trademark of MAPS BTW), or not, I will not comment, but one of the reasons for building (some at least) DNSBLs is to exact a social pressure on the owner of the listed host. If multiple BLs are listing a single host and that host is a regular mail exchanger for a given domain, there must be good reason for the multiple listings. Is the owner of said host doing all that he should/could be to deal with the spam problem? Or perhaps the sending IP is a "subscriber" IP of some sort. They should be using their ISP assigned mail exchanger. Or maybe the sending IP has an open proxy on it, etc. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
