Thanks Joe. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.
What the hell?? I just read this whole thread! I would not have taken this guy off! No way in hell!!!!! Ray, add this yahoo to UC please!
Well, first off, you probably meant "Ryan". Second, single4you.net has been in UC for for days already. :-)
The domain is brand new, sends spam, and screams about
getting listed!
How the hell can he be legit! Did you guys read the NANAS listings that showed his wonderful emails?
These are just the ones reported. He 'purchased' a list. So none of these were opt in.
Agreed! Don't forget the temporal aspect of SURBL. It *was* a spammer domain, but that doesn't mean it still *is* a spammer domain.
This is not the last we will hear of this guy. I think taking him off is a mistake. And IF he does it again, I'll report his a$$ to every RBL I can find, simply because you guys removed this idiot.
Well, I'm not worried about it at all, because if he has really cleaned up his act, we won't hear from him again. Otherwise, if I get confirmed fresh spam for single4you.net, I'll happily spend the 3 seconds it takes to re-list, as I'm sure would many people who have read this thread. ;-) I'll be watching my daily GetURI runs very, very closely. :-)

Even while following this thread yesterday, I whitelisted 45 domains, and listed 24 new ones, from a ~6 hour corpus. I'm not going to let a little bit of BS about *one* measly domain ruin my fun.
I know, I had to damn near swallow my own tongue before I recommended de-listing them, but, the point is, if we aren't responsive to the odd site possibly changing their act, SURBL (and even UC) will be useless.

Yup, sorry about that. After I sent it I realized I meant you :)
I'm still having fun, and I know it seems that Jeff and I don't get along, but we do. Our differences are good for the lists.
If you have had more correspondence with this spammer that leads you to this decision, then I trust you have reasons for removing then.
