Hi!
meredith.com (magazine publisher - owner of americanbaby.com newsletter) websponsors.com be3a.com
This week has been a particularly bad week for FP's :(
I dont know about the other 2 but websponsors.com is not a FP. They are a advertising network and have a lot of people spamming to drive traffic to the sites they advertise. Why would you wanna whitelist that one ? Any specific reasons ?
Perhaps look here: http://websponsors.com/affiliates.htm
We have seen a LOT of mail with that one and refers to it.
Its a matter of vieuw i also think, what you feel is a FP, but in this case i dont agree with you.
Bye, Raymond.

The newsletter it came in was definately not spam, it was annoying garbage, but the user definately subscribed to it and definately wants to recieve it regardless fo the misguided choice of advertising network used by the publisher.
The newsletter is run through a Yahoo! Group and is called "Joke du Jour" I have records back to the 13th of June with this newsletter containing websponsors.com adverts.
While I agree that websponsors.com are definately involved in a lot of garbage mailing, the ultimate goal of SURBL is to have no FP's unfortunately their greyness probably pushes this toward being a FP using the terms generally used by Jeff.
I'm happy to be wrong on this however!!
Good evening, David,

I'll let you and Raymond come to a consensus on websponsors.com. Meredith.com has been whitelisted. be3a.com - what kind of email did you get with that as a link?

And that's why FP reports are so crucial. Despite our best efforts, I simply can't know all the domains that are also used in legitimate mail. For example, on that be3a.com site, all one gets is a "login" page, nothing else. I'm still wondering if that's legit or not. :-) Cheers, - Bill

websponsors is in the whitelist currently, just added it there, BUT! if i get more spam to my 3 spamtraps the comming days it will be moved out again. Is that acceptable?
If they attract spammers by their concept thats the risk they take...
Bye, Raymond

Per an earlier message, I've whitelisted meredith.com in SURBLs, and I added their americanbaby.com to the whitelisting also.
I'm whitelisting websponsors.com which was on be, ws and ds and probably remains in those source lists. If they have some legitimate use, but are abused by people who spam mentioning their site, they should probably be whitelisted. I'm interested in hearing if they are an actual sponsor or promoter of spamming however.
be3a.com I can't determine enough. They are on ws.
