Hi,
browsing my autodetected spam folder, I came across a couple of messages from Randy Cassingham's 'This is True' newsletter (see http://thisistrue.com) that hit on SURBL lists..
Randy uses plain text advertising within is bulletin but he's not a spammer... in fact he wrote and maintains a 'spam primer' page at http://www.spamprimer.com/
The domains that hit this where: REMOVETHIS-JumboJoke.com and REMOVETHIS-BonzerSites.com (in outblaze's list) and REMOVETHIS-HealthYouDeserve.com (in Bill's list).

Thanks for the whitelist report Mariano. I've whitelisted:
thisistrue.com spamprimer.com jumbojoke.com bonzersites.com
all of which belong to Randy. However the last one does not belong to Randy and is on WS:
healthyoudeserve.com (and .biz and .net)
Does anyone know anything about this one? WS folks can you check how it came onto WS?
I also whitelisted mailing list site:
lyris.net
Like most public list sites, they probably get abused, but are more ham than spam.

www.healthyoudeserve.com had zero NANAS, and neither their web site, nor their name servers (run by quickpros.com) are listed in SBL. Therefore I am whitelisting:
healthyoudeserve.com
The entire thing sounds somewhat spammy, but I can't find proof, so we generally need to not list. I'd like to hear any contrary evidence, including the reasons it's on WS.

Maybe, it announces on different e-newsletters (as Randy's) and maybe one of these newsletters is not using confirmed opt-in... or someone forgot he/she subscribed, or whatever...

I just got a hit (in OB) from HonoraryUnsubscribe.com, that also belongs to Randy... would you whitelist this one also?
TIA
