Hmm.. Comment about the IETF's stance on spam, and look what happens. ;) I don't think this is an IETF-sanctioned practice, and I'm fairly sure that it's the IETF mail host they're actually complaining about. Of course, it isn't like they could be *HELPFUL* and actually *LIST* which IP address and which blacklist. Also, gotta love the way they send it to the RFC2822 From:, not the RFC2821 MAIL FROM: like the standards require. But I think I commented about people breaking standards, so that's no surprise either.... Mostly mentioning it because if one of the IETF servers *is* in one of those blacklists, things are going to get ugly...
