You said "The gist of the responses I got was "If you do business with an ISP that allows spam, allowed spam, or had anything to do in any way, shape or form with a spammer, then screw you - you've gotten what you deserve."" That is not true. SPEWS only lists ISP's who are actively hosting spammers, and I am certain that was made very clear to you. Once the spammers are gone, the listings vanish very quickly. Anyhow, enough on this. n.a.n.e is the place for this. Suffice it to say that you shouldn't use SPEWS to block spam, you should use SPEWS if you choose to block ISP's who are spam supporters (although it does block a LOT of spam). The only "false positives" occur when SPEWS accidentally lists the wrong IP addresses, and that happens very very rarely and is fixed as soon as it is noted. -- Alan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
