Individual members of the mailing list can block whatever they want, and nothing you or I or FreeBSD.org do can change that. The comment we're responding to was about *one* person who said he was blocking Interbusiness -- it's not as though it was the whole list. > Seriously, we can't fight spam blocking e-mails coming from specific > domains, or we end-up with everything blocked.

At least, not in the short run. Meanwhile, before you get yourself further puffed up in righteous indignation, remember that it's still speculation whether domain blacklists have anything to do with your messages getting bounced. There are many other possibilities. Meanwhile, this is now off-topic for freebsd-questions, and should move to -chat. Be well.
