Hey All,

I thought I would try to hijack this this semi-OT thread.

I while back I was getting mail rejected by not signing my domain up with DNSWL.
I was then either weekly or monthly to emailed confirm my set-up was still 
valid.
I found this annoying as my information rarely changes.
I stopped responding they still send me prompts and I think they now accept my 
mail.

I bring it this up because my un-informed opinion from my experience with DNSWL 
is that it sort of extortion for control of email traffic.

Thoughts?

Ben
