Ahhh its... amusing, watching this thread go on, having run a DNSbl for
a long time.
*leans back in a rocking chair on her back porch*
Pepperidge Farm 'members a time where DNSbl maintainers were crucified
for not being 'open enough' about why IPs were listed. Or not being
fast enough at responding to requests to remove. Or the many death threats.
In all honesty, though, why isn't everyone threatening to burn down the
CEOs house, kill them and their families, etc for 'overly aggressive
filtering'? I mean, that was all the rage back in the early 2000s?
Suddenly its perfectly okay for the big companies to do the exact same
shit and noone bats an eyelash at it?

You cut the portion of the previous post I was specifically
responding to. Specifically this sentence:
“[MS employees should] be able to guess if you're a probable spammer
or a legitimate sender who's been caught out, and then be helpful or
not based on that.”
I was pointing out that it’s not that easy . And, given they're
guessing, perhaps they guessed wrong.
I wasn't suggesting that they unblock an IP address based on a
'guess', but that if the recent mail from that IP address looks legit,
they could spend a bit more time on it, and maybe give the sending
admin a bit more advice - eg 'your SPF records are wrong' or 'the IP
address has a bad reputation, this is a link to how to resolve that'
or something rather than their current useless 'not eligible for
mitigation, now go away, and don't reply to this message' response.
Ah. You’re new here. According to reports by MS employees the use of
boilerplates is mandated by legal and nothing can be sent that is not
pre-approved by the legal department.
