Spamhaus does not supply any information on how and why someone got on the list. They also do not warn you of possible listing on the ROKSO list. This is has a major impact in honest business who get on the list either by mistake, or a rogue affiliate emailer. any info would be great!

They certainly do a good job at filtering Spams. So whats the outcome of this ? Is spamhaus still in business? I hope Gmail is not using Spamhaus ! They certainly do a good job at filtering Spams.

It is in the eye of the beholder whether they want to read your email that they have subscribed to but it is not a matter of opinion whether they subscribed and confirmed! I hope you are keeping records of I.P. numbers and times to defend your customers against wrong headed accusations! Like a lot of people I used to have an AOL account even though I am in the UK and I used to quite happily press the "Spam" button instead of the "Delete" button! AOL customers have no clue what spam means-they are not making a spam complaint they are just clearing their inbox! Spam is "unsolicited" and everything I have ever sent is from double optin accounts and simply cannot be spam. I had a complaint at my help desk a few days ago about one of my newsletters being "spam", the lady concerned had signed up for it the day previously! It is in the eye of the beholder whether they want to read your email or unsubscribe and that is fine but Spamhaus and other self appointed "authorities" are contributing to an atmosphere of fear amongst legitimate Internet Marketers. I am not a techie but I cannot understand why Microsoft, Cisco and others cannot find a technical solution to spam. Spam Assassin is a joke-it gives a Spam score to innocent emails and yet the spammers get through. The spammers don't seem to have email delivery problems; we do! The absurdity of an illinois court making International judgements does not matter but frankly I would be glad to see Spamhaus fined. Whatever happened to the right of free speech? And whatever happened to simple logic; if you subscribed it simply ain't spam! Phew! That feels better :-) Alex Simon, you say, “Spam is in the eye of beholder” and I disagree totally.

And one more thing that I would like to mention here is that if an Anti-Spam company has to pay so much amount, then what idea will the normal users will get from it? May be that there is no solution to the Spammers and their bulky annoying spam messages. But this is not right. There are certainly some useful websites available which may help us in terms of getting aware of the spams as well as Anti-Spamming Solutions.

So maybe we should wait and see what happens next.
