i understand your frust, recently the servers from the biggest german
provider got in rbls , this has lead to a lot of work here
i personally would not use hostkarma or recommend it, and anyway
i use other stuff for antispam, but keep cool shit happens,
mail providing is daily work, youre right whitelisting should work
in spamassassin , if it doesnt show logs etc for support why it may
failed, cause i guess others get in trouble too, so the problem should
be solved public in a friendly way
