are there any whitehat organizations we should consider looking at for "whitening" like Bonded Sender?
As I said, check out http://iadb.isipp.com/iadbcodes.php, maybe you can use it somehow. Bye, Frank
Hmm Interesting:
http://iadb.isipp.com/iadb.php
The ISIPP Accreditation Database (IADB) is a DNS list of the domains and/or IP addresses of senders who either a) meet ISIPP's criteria as determined by background, reference, and other checks ("non-vouched listings"), or b) are personally known to ISIPP to meet the criteria and to be good Internet mailing citizens, and for whom we will thus vouch ("vouched listings"). Email receivers (ISPs and spam filters) check the IADB in realtime, as they are receiving email from the sender, to determine such information as the sender's SPF status, the opt-in policies of the sender, and whether the sender participates in best practices organizations or is known to ISIPP as a "best practices sender".
[...]
Note that the IADB is not a whitelist ("you should accept all email from these sites just because we say so") and it is definitely not a blocklist ("you shouldn't accept any mail from these sites just because we say so"). It is a judgement-neutral list, asserting that those listed there-in meet certain standards and/or are personally known to ISIPP to be responsible mailers.
Raymond, Since you're checking out Bonded Sender, can you request a zone transfer or rsync from these guys too so we can check their data?
