My monitoring service just notified me that an IP from my shared general
outbound pool is listed on the Truncate DNSBL. This is really the first
I've heard of this list. From what I read on their web pages, they claim
that an IP is only listed if > 95% of the mail they detect is spam. I
personally find this quite improbable coming from my systems.

Overall, the messages in that pool are statistically identical across IPs
as everything is round-robin delivered. I'm measuring about 0.02% spam
complaint rate, Hotmail SNDS is reporting "green", AOL postmaster says the
stream is clean. There is nothing different about these numbers for a very
long time.

The IP in question is 199.83.97.5.

Questions:

1) is this list used to cover a consequential number of inboxes?
2) is this list true to their self-proclaimed description of 95% spam
required?
2a) if so, how would the data from the FBLs and from hotmail and AOL be so
different?

Thanks!
