it's not only about spamhaus, it's about any rbl that -potentially- -could get the idea- that they could force isps to 'contact them' by not having auto-delisting and/or also listing non-directly related ip's (Such as ips routed by the same parties or ips having urls resolving to them in 'spam', which could negatively impact an smtpd running on that ip, which is not the smtpd that originated the 'spam'). furthermore, you're not in a position to make 'demands'. we own the internet. you don't.
yes, your rants from two emails ago was still only about Spamhaus :) And, any RBL can list any IP number they please and there are so many good and trusted RBLs that do not have any auto de-listing. Right now, even some of the large DNSBL that do have automatic removal, is thinking about stopping auto removals and there are suggestions to have "minimum listing times" I am not sure exactly what that means or how it will work, but I assume that the specific list will not remove any listing for a set period of time (like a penalty box) In my own opinion, I think that all listing removals should only be manual and that there is a set number of removals, after which listing becomes permanent. and, I am not demanding anything. lol Andre
