What happens if spammers start adding SURBL tolkins to their

defeat our

whitelisting and force us back to munging anyway?

No, unless the whitelisting is not implemented correctly. I suggested whitelisting the server from which this email comes from and not the return-path.

whitelist desn't mean what it means for other lists. In SURBL it simply means if some nut puts it into SURBL, it won't matter. The WL will remove it. So it's just never added. There are LOTS of times we remove domain names but don't whitelist. Just in case they return to spamming.

And removal of domains usually takes 2-3 "Major players" (LOL I like that. But I'm just a loud mouth, no bigger then the rest of the submitters, just heard from more often ;) Weee!) Not really a policy, we just like to be sure.

More then once, one of us has thought something should be removed, only to find quite the opposite from other submitters.

And MUNGED might as well go along with Top posting. Do what makes you feel good.....unless it might get you fired :)

When I retype htings I automungew because ofp my phat fingers.
