DroneBL's DNSBL servers are basically under permanent DDoS attack, which is why Cisco/IronPort and other providers have to sponsor them now. While I understand the current aspect of your operation, you must understand that IRCCo did not make you many friends in the anti-abuse community. Sorry, that's just how it is. We look at BL/IRCCo and it does not make us feel warm and fuzzy. Being proactive by say, checking out your customers before lighting them up would go a long way toward improving the fuzziness perception in the anti-abuse community. But you don't do that. It's clear you don't do that. William
