Sadly, this is for remote hosts. I have no idea why someone would use such services as there are too many false positives. It is like using an IDS that is 2 weeks behind on it's definition. That brings up the point of false positives and outdated information blocking legitimate users, perhaps many which is what my company is experiencing since they deem certain reverse dns entries too "generic" and blacklisted a /18. I believe that is why no one knows if they will be bought or whatnot. Who knows. On Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 1:50 PM, John Souvestre <johns@sstar.com> wrote:
Hi Brielle.
Do they take two weeks to put a spammer on the list?

Yes, they are really bad. It is actually quite silly that a blacklisting service is that slow on responding to problems.
I find it unacceptable that people demand instant service from a company they don't have prior business arrangements/relationship with. Average turn around time for the AHBL is around two weeks if we don't have an established contact and procedure with.
How would you like it if a non-customer came to you demanding resolution to a problem with a free service you provide? Would you drop everything, and give that non-customer the same service you give a paying customer?
