Fanbridge doesn't send me anything but spam, and you can google and find their CEO saying "well, just email me and I'll add you to our global suppression list."
Well, if they managed their lists better... actually, if they forced their bands to manage the lists better... they wouldn't need to do damage control like that.
Your list? I am not questioning that it's clean. If you say it's clean, I'll trust you. Fanbridge, however, was an unfortunate choice...
I've tried unsubscribing from a band's email list, just to find that I'm on two others besides the one I just got off of. This has happened more than once.
I've NEVER subscribed to ANY email list hosted at Fanbridge.
Seriously - go find another ESP. And stop posturing, it only makes you look like a jerk. No one is required to accept mail from Fanbridge, whether you like it or not.
Best, Steve - NOT SPEAKING FOR THE SURBL MAINTAINERS. Just speaking on my own behalf.

On Saturday May 16th, we sent out a legitimate newsletter email to our mailing list consisting of people who opted -in and specifically requested to receive newsletters. Some of these emails were classified as spam because of references to either Fanbridge.com or fburls.com. The emails were sent from the band's domain, mollysrevenge.com, using the commercial newsletter service, FanBridge.
So how am I supposed to deal with this? Fanbridge is a legitimate business with thousands of customers. I have no idea why you chose to blacklist them and I don;t really care, all I know is that legitimate emails are being intercepted as a result and that's an unacceptable situation. If this happened with USPS mail, you'd be guilty of a felony.
Catchall solutions to internet spam that result in legitimate emails being blocked are unacceptable.
