I am seriously considering changing that policy to also include reporting them as Spam. > The last thing we need is people here to troll on behalf of M$ > stamping their feet, demanding we change the way we've always used > these lists. You are referring to the way you have always done things. See previously posted comments on CC'ing and you will readily find that it is not a universally accepted method.

I have read another post that might also describe why the network is being blacklisted. I firmly believe that a diligent SA (note the word diligent) could attempt to correct this problem. From past experience, those who are blacklisted are so listed due to their own fault and for the protection of others. Attempting to bypass such a listing is a favorite of Spammers and their ilk; as well as those who are attempting a thief of service as per the conditions stated by the IPs owner. -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies, ignored and/or rerported as Spam.
