(That was the sarcastic, introductory question. The real meat comes in the part you snipped.) > \I don't understand your question. Incentive to whom? The client? Of course Incentive for you, to get em delisted from BRBL. The funky question is, is BRBL part of your weighted blacklist metric? Let me get back a couple posts. So you checked a list of active and suspended IPs against BRBL. Suspended *might* mean, the customer abused your service and terms of accreditation. That would explain why they keep being listed black, no? And thus puts the remaining contradicting listings (and suspensions on your end) into perspective. That's why it matters what "suspended" regarding the list of IPs you tried getting delisted from BRBL translates to. Suspended for which of that wide range of reasons? > Check the PDF table I sent earlier. You will see very few dnsbl hits for IPs > on, and even off our lists. Do your own check. Query our lists and I'm not questioning your service, nor metrics. All I asked for is what "suspended" in this very context and with the list you where talking about really means. After all, we're talking about the reputation of a blacklist. And since "blacklisted for a valid reason" is part of the term "suspended", we need to understand the meaning of a suspended state, at least regarding all those IPs in that list, to judge the rating by the blacklist under discussion. Put into perspective. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu...@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
