Thanks Ned, my question being now - why create a rule that can reduce the spam count
the DNSWL rules are not created to reduce spam count, but to reduce FP count.
when the provider decides to enforce such a policy;
any provider can enforce any policy - should we stop using shared databases too?
You can be denied from running sa-update if you will abuse it. should SA stop recommending using it?
and start returning incorrect queries. Denied or not, it should NEVER return any value that would lower the spam count, if it cannot provide the correct answer to the query, it should send a null result; not some crap answer because they're systems cannot provide sufficient queries to the demand the public puts on their infrastructure.
afaik your problem was that you are using (or forced to use) your providers' DNS servers. Blame your provider, not SA.
