How does this effect current rsync subscribers? How long will current rsync access remain available?
Thanks, Alex
Hi Alex, Thanks for bringing up another point I didn't address in the announcement but probably should have. All large rsync users would be asked to pay, but there would be a 90 day grace period.
Arnie can probably provide more details:

His email address is arnieb at his domain above, and he's also seeing this since he's on the list.

Whoops, I must have missed the initial post on this.
So do I take it that the current free rsync feed we use for our mail servers will be ending soon? As a fairly large ISP (2 million mailboxes, up to 20 million mails per day) the new charges will cost us around $20,000/per annum. I'm really very appreciative of the work done by SURBL and will certainly lobby for us to continue with the feed. Unfortunately these things are determined by the corporate bean counters :).
Can I have some more formal information about when the current rsync feed will terminate? Also some more detail on support/service guarantees/escalation procedures would be useful when putting forward the case for funding.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul, Yes, all the current rsyncers will be contacted with details such as you're requesting. Your suggestions are very reasonable and helpful BTW.
Regarding making a case for value, you may want to compare what it would cost to filter without SURBLs. That would also be very useful feedback to us about our pricing.
Cheers and thanks,
Jeff C.
