But the thread basically says that uptilt.com (a known spam sender) was hired by tonyrobbins.com to advertise. So they sent out spam. Now my question is, do we list them?
Do we list somewhat legit domains that hire these people without (or maybe with) the knowledge that they will spam? I'm leaning towards yes, in the hopes they will learn to choose their advertisers more carefully. Thoughts?
The answer I would prefer is to *not* list a mostly legitimate domain like tonyrobbins.com, but to let conventional RBLs list uptilt.com and their IPs as a spam sender. In other words, let spamhaus list uptilt's addresses and block on them, but don't list tonyrobbins.com in SURBLs since it could potentially be mentioned in legitimate messages. Of course it would not hurt to let the possibly legitimate company's lawyers know they should not use spammers, and cite the law being broken.
This one seems like a relatively clear division of responsibility to me. Others may be more or less clear.
