I wouldn't worry too much. Most RBLs blacklist on the basis of IP address, not on domain name. The ones that don't aren't used widely enough to make a difference. You'll probably have more problems with ignorant admins who block on domain name and can't be bothered to learn how to read mail headers. > Thanks in advance, and if there's a better list to address this on, > please let me know. SPAM-L (http://www.claws-and-paws.com/spam-l/) might be able to help you more but wear your Nomex undies because they tend to eat their own (not as bad as NANAE or so I've heard.) There's good information there if you can distract them from their internicine warfare. Actually, asking a diversionary question right now might get you a good answer because I think most people there are getting sick of beating each other up over whether Habeas is anti-spam enough. Hint: Read the FAQ above and use the appropriate topic tag when posting; I suggest HELP.) Spamtools is more tool-specific (hence the name; <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) but it's lower traffic and generally more polite and tech-savvy. Mainly because the shrill, twitchy crowd is tearing into each other on NANAE and SPAM-L. I really shouldn't bad-mouth SPAM-L because I've learned an awful lot from that list in the last 6-7 years. It's just that I'm really tired of watching people go out of their way to be rude and abusive towards others at the slightest provocation (and I recognize the irony in my semi-snotty response to the "I hate SpamAssassin" guy.) It's just tiresome to watch after 6 years or so. At least they aren't pointlessly arguing over relay testing anymore[1]. ;) -- Bob Apthorpe [1] Though the occasional recurrence of "Why can securityscan.sec.rr.com probe my network with impunity but whenever someone tries to verify an open proxy/relay in RR netspace, Mark Herrick blows a gasket?" thread still amuses me. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
