I support their intent, if not their methods. My personal feeling is that ORBS was a pain in the ass, and didnt appear to do much other than list mail servers when it didnt need to... (having had to fight to get a couple of mail servers removed in the past). Again, my personal opinion and based only on my personal experience with it. The same with the RBL, although I have less experience with the true impact of their service. I have however had to mail servers removed from their lists, and seemed to do so without too much difficulty... I feel that services like RBL/ORBS are sometimes the only way to get server administrators to listen - but I also think that they shouldnt turn into dictatorial environments and thats a whole other kettle of fish... Im not going to disclose who did the spammage since I wasnt a victim (from either aol's or the clients pov). Its not my place. I just wanted to offer some sympathy for AOL's position, and make clear I didnt hold Steve's position against him at all.. I think his reaction is justified, at least to some degree. Have a good weekend folks. :) At 15:45 26/10/2001 -0600, Andy Gardner wrote:
Before anyone picks on Steves 'knee jerk' too much, Ive also seen the spam message, second hand from a friend of mine whos company is a client of ICONZ....
What's all the secrecy about?
Let's have it out - who did it?
I also know who the source is, and Id like to say that its just plain *rude*.... I dont blame Steve for his reaction *at all*. Im sure that a fair number of AOL's customers wouldnt complain about this particular blacklist, since im fairly sure most of their customers arent exactly saying 'gee thanks for this most useful advertisement'....
Do you also support RBL and ORBS?
