Denton, TX | Spamhaus destroys small businesses... and doesn't care! I've had many of my webhosting clients on my servers get blacklisted with ZERO proof, sometimes from forum user confirmation emails, sometimes from order receipts, or even from REQUESTED mailings/newsletters. Besides all the support issues our company deals with (customer service, network problems, DDoS attacks, marketing, etc) getting IP ranges blacklisted for petty, unfounded reasons with VERY LITTLE recourse is unfair.
Ever tried appealing to them? It takes hours to get the process started. And HOURS of downtime for a business is like closing up shop in the middle of the busy day.
There are many other solutions to stopping spam that are pattern based rather than IP based. People can also stop putting their email addresses out there in plain sight. |

| Sounds like you need to move your servers to a hosting company which doesn't do business with spammers OR your customers need to stop hitting SBL spamtraps.

They do NOT list IP's for a TRUE confirmation emails.
ie: this is to confirm you signed up - if you did, please reply, otherwise your email will be dropped off our list"
as opposed to
"this is to confirm you signed up. If you do NOT want to be signed up, please reply to..."
The first example is opt-in. The second example is NOT opt-in. |
