If you are paying attention to the activities of the clients on your network, you will know who the outright spammers are, who are doing some unwise things and can potentially be guided into good practices, and who has been doing it right, from the beginning (or straightened up their act after their knuckles got whacked with a ruler). Every morning at GreenArrow, I examine about 20% of our "cloud" customers: their volume and distribution, their open rates, their first- and second-stage failure rates, the reasons for those failures, the 4xx and other deferral rates, their feedback complaint rates, and any stuff coming into abuse@ for this CX. I send my findings upstairs, and on a number of occasions, sending has been abruptly halted, and a pro-rated refund of the most recent invoice amount sent to the affected CX. If they show up on Spamhaus CSS, or certain other blocklists, this nearly always calls for the Magic Kiss Of Death packet in their morning email. YMMV. mdr -- "There are no laws here, only agreements." -- Masahiko _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
