Hi Rob,
Are your invaluement.com DNSBLs available for us to use? Your http://invaluement.com/results.txt page tells me why I should be using it TODAY ;) but I can't find any info about how...!!

Cheers,
Jeremy

Jeremy,

The beta testing period is over. I now only allow paying subscribers. Hopefully, the web site to sign up will be available soon. (I keep trying to finish it... but it gets delayed all the time as I continually get carried away finding new ways to improve my lists!) In the meantime, you can get access immediately... before the web site launches... by filling out the following form below (anyone is welcome to do this... just make sure you send this back to *me* and not to the list). I'll the respond with further instructions as well as a button where you can subscribe via PayPal. The subscription includes a trial period where you pay $1 for the first 10 days. You can cancel at any time. (Other methods of payment are available upon request and I often grant very large potential subscribers longer periods of free testing time.)

Also, direct queries to my DNSBLs are never allowed and will always fail... even for subscribers! Instead, subscribers get access via RSYNC to either rbldnsd-formatted files, or BIND-formatted files. (I provide detailed instructions about that!) Additionally, I have to have a clear understanding of... for who/what this is used per subscriber. For example, at this point, I don't know enough about Jeremy Fairbrass to send that subscription button.. but I'm sure he will help me out with that!)

*********************************************************
Obtaining a subscription to the invaluement.com DNSBLs

(1) Name & contact information, including phone number & e-mail address,
company, etc.

(2) Tell me the approximate number of mailboxes/users that your use of this
product will protect if/when you decide to officially subscribe. (also include
your spam filtering customer's users if applicable... basically, anyone who
benefits by your use of this product should be included in the total)

(3) Let me know of you provide either spam filtering software or filtering appliances or DNSBLs or any other spam filtering technologies to third parties where the actual filtering is then done outside of your network. There is a different pricing plan for those situations.

(4) What type of access do you require:

(a) RSYNC to rbldnsd-formatted files (RECOMMENDED!)
...OR..
(b) RSYNC to (dns) bind-formatted files

(5) What IP address should I should grant permission for your RSYNC client to access the lists? (and a backup IP is welcome)

******************************************

Send that information and I'll respond with further instructions as well as my now-finalized price list (the same one that will be posted on my web site soon).

Thanks for your interest!

Rob McEwen
