I AM NOT DEFENDING FREELOTTO.COM, merely discussing the theory behind the
"Certified" service which is queried in the BSP rules in SpamAssassin.

shouldnt you folks know that your customers are spamming before we do?
How can a 3rd party automatically discern whether or not you subscribed to a
particular bit of mail? Or whether or not you consider the mail to be
living up to your expectations for those messages?
I can think of a few ways, but they'd all involve serious privacy violations
-- and possibly brain surgery. Much better for all concerned if you'd be
willing to tell us when you're unhappy about one of the IPs on the list.
or at least charge them a lot more for abusing your services ;-)
Nope. If they're proven to be violating the standards, they're no longer
part of the program.
maybe it isnt the smartest idea in the world, yet shouldnt your types of
companies have several "stealth" email addresses on yourt customers lists
that get email from them just like everyone else that is getting spammed?
and then actually have eyeballs on your clients workings ???
Of course we do -- but those addresses /did/ subscribe to the list, and they
don't make value judgments.
