I'm looking for comments / suggestions / opinions from any providers
Yes, at under 12 cents per user per *year* it's definitely worthwhile in my personal opinion... I know several providers who have taken their commercial service either because they wanted an SLA or because they were contacted by Spamhaus because of their traffic levels.... that price is rough and totally depends on how many email accounts you've got.... -p -----Original Message----- From: Patrick W.

I know that certain large DNS providers (i.e. google and level3) have either been banned or have voluntarily blocked spamhaus queries by their resolvers. We're currently in discussion with spamhaus and I wanted to see how others may have handled this. I believe you can pay them a small fee and do a zone transfer so you are not hitting their name servers. If you see value in the service, it should be worth the small fee. And since you are hitting them a lot, I have a feeling that you see value in the service. -- TTFN, patrick ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and contains confidential and/or privileged material.
