The MAJOR problem with this is they (rfc-ignorant.org) expect everyone, including spammers, to play nice and not send spam to the postmaster address. They also expect the spammers to play nice and not harvest addresses from the whois data bases. This is the reason that rfc-ignorant.org is going to have problems. Perhaps someone needs to add their postmaster or abuse address to a spam list and see how fast they shutdown the addresses.
I don't understand. Could you expand on it? I mean, why rfc-ignorant.org list or not list a server? I don't know what they do and why. A link, perhaps? I can guess from what you said that comcast has removed the postmaster address, and then rfc-ignorant.org list them. Is that it?
You cannot fight the spammers by simply playing fair because the spammers never will play fair. Because of this poeple are going to hide their whois contact info or use phony info and they will block their postmaster and abuse address.
Mmm. But mailers send automatically bounces to those addresses. They must exist! Else, other servers will have secondary bounces. Not that it does matter... I think many server, including major ISPs just dump email sent to postmaster... and that's why, many times, they are included in RBL lists, because they do not respond to spam related complaints. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCw+tHtTMYHG2NR9URAiF/AJ92IEkRFeL2zmfF3Nx9RxF1CLBTUQCeIZ5y 3Q9CJy+FN3cmh0DC2yI71RQ= =X8zs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
