Re: SMTP Minimum Retry Period - Proposal To Modify Mx

[Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I believe Keith is probably right.  Blacklisting has been a major 
impediment to my own email usage.  I don't know about any *particular* 
blacklisting service because when your ISP gets blacklisted by mistake 
and you're simply collateral damage, it's very hard for you to get an 
explanation of what's going on, because your email has been blocked -- 
this has happened to me several times.  My own theory is that 
blacklists are fundamentally flawed because they are inevitably NOT 
accompanied by sufficient administrative staff to deal with the 
inevitable mistakes and exceptions in the blacklist.  Moreover they 
aren't necessary, given the number of other ways to block spam.  --
