- Spivak 9y agoI mean that's the nature of these kinds of lists. We don't tell anyone about how we set up our firewall, do spam filtering, or flag accounts for suspicious activity because then it would be easier to circumvent.
- e12e 9y agoThere are plenty efficient rbl lists that are transparent. There's grey listing. It's not like "today, you feel white-ish enough to not be silently dropped at gw, black-ish enough to go in the spam folder without warning" is the only valid policy to fight spam. Even simply rejecting with an error (spam suspected) would be better than the silent treatment. And I don't see anything wrong with telling people how you set up a firewall. We even write books about that.
