Yes, our SMTP greetings are valid and up to spec. Again, it's the non-deterministic loss that we're most concerned about. If there were a problem with the SMTP exchange, we would see our emails always rejected (for instance). Our measurement study only includes emails that were successfully delivered (indicated by a complete series of successful status codes returned during SMTP exchange).
Many thanks,

Hi,
Perhaps this explains it.
No, it doesn't. Please read their paper. In the paper and as he stated again in the response above, their definition of a "loss" requires the message to be delivered successfully in the first place. The anti-spam measure described in the above URL causes the remote MTA to not accept mail at all from the blocked source. This would not be counted as a loss in their methodology, but possibly as an "error."
BTW your subnet (18.0.0.0/8) is listed there as well.
I don't see it there. And those are not censures of the entire /8 networks, but just a list of how many individual hosts in that network are currently blocked. -- Crist J. Clark crist.clark@globalstar.com Globalstar Communications (408) 933-4387
