That all makes sense, and I agree it's reasonable that such behavior gets senders automatically listed in various blocklists. I was mostly surprised that after reviewing it, Spamhaus's policy is that this behavior (not using COI and hitting spamtraps as a result, for messages that in other respects are wanted by recipients and transactional) is sufficient to maintain an HBL listing with a notation of "This email address is used for malicious activities". If any sender who doesn't use COI can potentially end up with a listing on the Spamhaus HBL for "malicious activities", it doesn't seem to justify the suggested 8 SpamAssassin points. I would (perhaps naively) expect such a listing to be removed when it turned out to be also blocking legitimate mail. But I guess that's more of a "my problem as a Spamhaus customer" thing than a mailop thing....! -- Robert L Mathews _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
