Skip, I think you are unlikely to get any major results out of doing this. Although you could create the whitelist even if you had the backing of InternetNZ or the NZ Marketing association, there is nothing compelling NZ ISP's to actually subscribe to it and you would likely find it very difficult to get any buy in internationally. In fact in all likelihood you would find that some administrators would use it as a relay Blacklist to block your subscribers, whether it is a whitelist or not smaller providers and businesses not up with your way of thinking would almost certainly do this. Anyway, as per Barry's comment below...

This is not the case, I have and will allow traffic to Telecom from anyone that can come up with a legitimate reason why it should be allowed.

I believe the only way something like this would work (whitelist) is if it were initiated by a reputable source such as InternetNZ or the likes. TelstraClear, Telecom and other big boys aren't going to start using a local RBL whitelist without knowing who they dealing with. Even so I doubt they would implement such a system for a reputable company unless it was Law or someone was paying for the implementation to the server, i.e. some sort of project. B
- New Zealand Based List Servers Only - New Zealand Anti Spam law compliant - Correct DNS and Fixed IP Address configured - Agreed Email Delivery Speeds (i.e x number of messages per hour) - Agreed Email Volumes (i.e x number of bulk message sent per day) - Server/Service Administrator Details registered for contacting etc - Security Compliance etc..
Keen to hear any feedback and suggestions. I think i speak for a number of content providers when i say that we want to work with ISP's and provide a service that works for both our Customers and you guys as ISP's.
