First, I love SURBL... I have integrated it into my server's mail
Excellent! Glad to hear it.
The purpose of THIS e-mail is to ask about a situation where a legitimate opt-in newsletter has been blocked. This was a NewsMax.com newsletter that I, in fact, specifically requested.
The offending domain found in this newsletter is the following:
exacttarget-MUNGED.com
Maybe exacttarget-MUNGED.com plays clean sometimes (as the
case of this
particular newsletter) and plays dirty other times. If that
is the case,
then I don't have a problem with this domain name getting
blocked... but
if not please double check this and consider whitelisting them.
Thanks for the report. We've removed that domain as of the 11:31 list. Cheers,
- Bill
These guys apear to be shammers (Spam and ham). NANAS has a bunch of posts. I believe they were added due to a Home Depot spam run to a bunch of harvested addresses. They are NOT white.

Somewhat in their defense, they appear to be a commercial mailing company with quasi-reasonable (not 100% confirmed opt-in?) anti-spam policies:

http://website.exacttarget.com/exacttarget_bestpractices_permission.asp
Perhaps Home Depot was an isolated incident with a bad data source.
I've whitelisted them in SURBLs.
