Hello,
while I don't disagree that the Level 3 blocklist is extreme, I believe it is important to emphasize how they are announcing the Level3 blocklist: http://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=3&s=5 > NOTE: By using Level 3 for blocking, be prepared to occasionally lose > some required mails too. DO NOT BLAME US, YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED! > > The recommended use of Level 3 is incorporating it into a scoring > system, to give e.g. 2 points on a ‘match’ where 5 or more points > trigger a spam tag. > > Use of Level 3 for blocking is recommended only if you are a > HARDLINER and you want to cause service providers and carriers that > have spammer / abusive clients to be quickly and effectively blocked > and it does not matter to you if regular email is also occasionally > rejected. > > This can bring a lot of pressure on service providers and carriers > to get their act in order and resolve the issues within their > responsibility. > > If you are a true BOFH you would logically block using all of our > levels. When a mail operator reads the above, and thinks that it's a good idea for their own relays to reject all email coming from Level3 listed relays unconditionally, I'd blame the mail operator, honestly. If an mail operator subscribes to blacklists without ever reading their description and intention, I'd blame the mail operator even more. Frankly ... RTFM also applies to blocklists. cheers, lukas _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
