I kept going back and forth as to whether to jump in on this thread and point
out that our own positive reputation DNSRL, the GSL - or as many of you know
it, and as it appears in the rules, the IADB - has always been and will always
be free to query or xfer, and with no restrictions, because we consider the
receiving community to be with whom we have our allegiance, and to whom we owe
responsibility. After all, the founder (me) came out of MAPS, and I have
always adhered to (and made sure that ISIPP SuretyMail adheres to) the
strictest of standards before a sender can be certified with us and have their
IPs placed on the GSL.
We are incredibly proud of and grateful for our relationship with the SA
community. In fact, the model of using discrete IP-address-based data points
(which we pioneered and we knew others would copy, (which they did) and we were
fine with that because it was a benefit to the receiving community which, after
all, is the point) was designed *specifically* with SA in mind, so that SA
could take full advantage of the granularity of the data; this was designed by
me and Craig Hughes.
Having run this by a trusted advisor in this community, I was encouraged to go
ahead and post in this thread, so now I have.
Again, here is a clear statement: The IADB ('GSL') is a positive reputation
DNS-based list which is and always will be free to query, and free to transfer.
The only way for an IP to appear on the IADB is after strict vetting and
making sure that the sender adheres to our own very high and strict standards.
We also take spam complaints (the few we receive - only a handful a year) very
seriously, and we have *zero* problem hitting a sender with a clue bat, and
'firing' a sender if we find that they have veered towards the gray side after
becoming certified with us. (The fact that we charge a relatively small
monthly sum to the senders makes firing them pretty painless. Thus it has
always been - best practices over money *always* - we can take this stand
because we are, always have been, and always will be, privately held, and the
buck stops with me).
