Apparently other RBL's care more about colleteral damage. I would not list this. You would not list microsoft.com neither if you accidently get a spam that you feel itnt appropriate. This is harming more then it does good. But its your list so your rules ;) I would not want to use it to filter my mails with it but hey ;)
Hi Raymond,
I'm not telling people to use the list to block and I'm admitting I have high scores which some might want to seriously dial down.
And I think I will have to consider the collateral damage and document it for those interested in the list.
But to answer the theoretical question, if I got multiple spams over a course of weeks from employees at Microsoft, I would consider blocking them because it can show a culture of spamminess. Would I block gmail or their outlook service for the same reason, no.
But I continually have problems with Google Groups that are abused, especially in Arabic and damned if I can get anyone at Google to give a damn. So if I thought blocking google groups might get some attention on the matter, I would consider it. This follows the same reasoning. The emails I have are not from 3rd parties or customers of a system but from people working at the system itself.
regards, KAM
