Does anybody find incoming mail that is VALIDITY_SAFE but not VALIDITY_CERTIFIED? I used to get such mail, and it was in part spam, I think because SAFE allowed "single opt in" otherwise known as "list owner just added you saying you somehow signed up". But now, I find that if either SAFE or CERTIFIED hits, both do. I'd like to ask Andrew to adjust the Validity website to provide an easy to find, clear explanation of the semantics of the RBLs. I went to the URL in the config file and just got marketing text. I'd like Andrew to explain if there is (still) any point to SAFE and CERTIFIED being separate. Given the very low query limits, and others comments, it seems like SA should drop SAFE and RPBL. I'm unclear on SA doctrine for included lists, but the Validity list limits seem too low even for single-person personal sites. Perhaps now with blocked codes and a way that queries are disabled for a while if blocked, we're ok with that.
