No, it is not a good thing! (If we are talking about an approach like dynablock's.) There are two approaches to blacklisting. Spamcop and similar services use the presumption of innocence: they blacklist only IPs that have been reported for spamming. Dynablock uses the presumption of guilt: if you can't afford to buy a static IP, you don't deserve to be able to route mail directly. > We all would drown in spam if they accepted mail from everywhere.

My ISP's mailservers are reliable _most_ of the time -- but when they are not, they do not return warning messages until they bounce the mail after 48 hours on the queue. -- Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
