Isn't this precisely why spamcop suggest not to bounce email on the basis of the bl.spamcop.net list, and instead use it to tag/mark/score email?
Yep. I am continiously amazed by the number of large mail sites that automaticly block all email from IPs with a RBL listing. They don't seem to realize that with thousands of people behind that mail server IP then it *will* get listed by Sorbs or Spamcop (or many other RBLs) sometimes. If it's you home mail server and you agressive block email then fair enough. If it is a work mail server then I would make sure that your management have signed off on the policy and that the potential downsides were explained to them (and you have a paper trail to prove it). -- Simon J.
