Hi, I hope this email is not too far off List Topic, however i have a question that I would like some feedback for from NZ ISP's. (I believe its been raised before) A number of my customers run Email List Services which sends out various messages to a subscribed customer base (compliant with the NZ Anti Spam Laws etc). The issue we have is that while we have done ALL we can to adhere to good internet etiquette, we seem to be loosing the battle to send legitimate emails to our customers. In the last month ive been discussing these issues with many ISP's and the range of responses are "Sure heres how you can make it work" to "Go Away we dont want to deal with this". What I'm wondering is this. If we setup a whitelist service that had a set of guidelines, would ISP's look at adopting it in their Firewall/Spam filtering services. Some guidelines for such a service would be: - 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.
