He did mention Hotmail.
I have no idea which blacklist is allegedly charging $2500 for investigating a listing. (I wonder if he meant to type $25.00?) Either way, I don't know who that is. But I will say that, in general, many requesting a delisting from a blacklist OFTEN assume that a particular hoster that is blocking their messages MUST therefore be caused by the particular "known" blacklist they found themselves to be on. But, in many such cases, the host had their own internal blacklist or was using some OTHER 3rd party blacklist - that was possibly responding to the same "root cause" that the other "known" blacklist was reacting to as well, but where that particular "known" blacklist wasn't actually the direct reason that this hoster was blocking that sender. So (absent more specific info proving such) this "known" blacklist that is allegedly charging a fee for research... could easily NOT be related to hotmail. (and probably isn't!) -- Rob McEwen
