Ok folks... The RBL Policy discussion is interesting, but we've gone wildly off track and it has become focused, unfortunately, on one provider. I'm not going to tell anyone what to think of Spamhaus, but this conversation is not the right place to go on specifically about them. I think the relevant opinions have been aired and nobody is going to be convinced one way or the other. If there is more discussion of general RBL Policy and whether bans should be longer/shorter/whatever or the other points Andre raised, great. If you aren't talking about this, please don't post it here. There are lots of other lists and forums and things on the Internet where you can post away.
