I stopped receiving SuSE list mail on Oct 14 and didn't realize what's going on until this afternoon. lists.suse.de is listed in the sorbs dns-rbl database as a source of spam. As such, list messages will be silently dropped on many ISPs.
Which demonstrates that it is a bad thing for ISPs to use black lists. I'm lucky and happy that my ISP doesn't.
I can understand why ISPs use black lists. Since October 29 at 4 AM (it is not even 7 days since) my lowly home mail server blocked 3883 spam messages mailed to me or my wife. I am using spamhaus, spamcop and the likes. None of SuSE's emails got blocked though so the ones I use at least seem to do a good job. This is on a system with only two users, can you imagine what is going on at large ISP mail servers? I don't know if they have a choice. Avi
