So once again, a spammer gets 1-2 legit companies to use them, and they get removed from all RBLs? If that is how we are going to operate, we might as well shutdown now. Game over.
It's not just one or two legit companies that use clickaction, probably more like hundreds. As for the RBL/RHSBLs, I don't find clickaction listed in any of them except the BLARSBL, which is one of the most aggressive: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=clickaction.net
"obviously very legitimate uses for clickaction services"
SO itworld wanted to reduce there own traffic and have this legit bulk done by a "Legit commercial email marketer". Well they picked the wrong one. This isn't the first time we have seen this and it won't be the last.
IT World opts to use a legitimate clackaction services, what's wrong with that?
The PROPER thing to do is inform itworld of the history of the marketer they are dealing with.
Have at it, but I am sure they would dispute your assessment of clickaction.
Whitelist? No way in hell. Temp remove, sure go ahead, but they are just going to get submitted again. Then what? Why not local whitelist then for your site?
Because I am not the only one that uses the SURBL. Better that you blacklist them at your site than force everyone that uses the SURBLs to whitelist them.
I'm starting to sound like the crazy SPAM-L locals :) BUt I'm tired of having this one single argument every week. Spammer who gets legit businesses to sign up....we need to deal with this now. Otherwise, like I said, game over.
Exaggeration, I'm sure... ;-)
