I think that the use of spamhaus got pulled into the default setup for
popular spam suites like spamassassin, which many operators running on a
shoestring just update onto their systems with out too much critical review
every time it comes out.
Such behaviour perforce leads to a bump-and-steer philosophy in spam
handling. I'd be curious to know if it's still in the latest default setup
for these tools.
I had a problem with mail sent from a
spamhaus.org blocked domain
(
yahoo.com!) last month. Whitelisted
yahoo.com, and that was that.

Hi all
I don't unterstand, why someone should trust any Blacklist/Spamlist/whatelse
and delete some mail, who may probably hit one of thouse lists.
_Never_ /dev/null any mail, only weighting them, and if the wieght is much,
then move it to a spamfolder on the recipients maildir.
[a] I don't unterstand spamhaus, why they don't contact the isp of those
domains
[b] I don't unterstand admins who trust any lists 100% (I _was_ one of them)
[c] I don't unterstand why _Spam_haus take care about phishing (how about
Phishinghaus?)
nice weekend

nic.at hat a "discussion" with them this week. Spamhaus listed their
mailservers. What a "great" idea, to blacklist a registry. :-(
Best wishes,
Matthias

Hi Guys.
any opinions on the game [1] that
spamhaus.org is playing? Is there
someone left who uses them to reject mails on smtp level?
Regards,
Andreas
