I've got no experience running a DNSBL, nor does William, but it seems to me that I'm not getting told the truth. Now, as I said, I don't always agree with Spamhaus' policies, but I'd bet a ham sandwich that you don't get delisted any time soon. Andrew
William,
It depends, we have criteria. You can't just e-mail abuse@blacklotus.net and expect any given web site to be immediately shut down. There is due process and we need to make a decision on the matter and serve it to our customer. If a customer is listed at Spamhaus this is sufficient.
Being a legitimate corporation means that we're accountable for maintaining certain standards. Everyone assumes that because we mitigate DDoS that we're no better than some offshore spam haven.

BTW: IP space is still null routed, still waiting on Spamhaus to stop nailing innocent customers.
