The reputation requirements here are a very low bar; as far as I can tell it's effectively "don't be a botnet".

Accuracy in spam filters is a difficult thing to measure, particularly if you don't have access to internal metrics on filter performance. The primary limiting factor for most blacklists is not scale, but simply the fact that most of t

If the Google Apps anecdote is true, it's likely to be a design flaw in their anti-spam systems - think of the number of spammers who could register domains, associate them with a $5 google apps account, and spam millions of Gmail reci

It's entirely true that Gmail accepts mail at much higher rates than other major ISPs, and that their default handling of unwanted mail is to place it into the spam folder - but the truth is they can and will bounce mail if it's b

That's probably more true in general than it is in this particular case. Gmail does IP reputation differently than other major ISPs, and domain/content reputation are very different beasts entirely. Gmail's approach with a lo

These days, there are only a handful of IP-based blacklists where a listing result in more than low single-digit impact to your delivery rate; moreover, among industry insiders, Gmail isn't known to use any public IP-based blacklist fo

My point wasn't about effects being so small they're imperceptible - it was that human perception is notoriously subjective (particularly in the audiophile world where people tend to want to hear differences even if they don&#x2

The usual dogma among those with a passing familiarity with digital audio seems to be to the effect of, "Bits are bits - it doesn't matter where they come from." This, as it turns out, is not entirely correct. Jitter can be a

Good points. It is worth mentioning that cysteine (non -acetyl varieties) isn't as stable/bioavailable as n-acetyl-cysteine; some people sell plain cysteine but it's not worth it- just stick with NAC if you're looking fo

I don't experience this at all. If I've had too much NAC (more than 2-3 grams), I can smell it in urine, but that's all. Different people may metabolize it different ways, of course - and there may be variance in the availa

I would also recommend supplementing with N-Acetyl-Cysteine - try perhaps ~500mg for each two drinks you consume; experiment to find the right balance for you. NAC is a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione, which the liver uses during s
