[RBL]
By "RBL" does Christopher mean the "MAPS RBL", or one of the other DNSBLs
around? Using RBL to refer to $blocklist is like using "xerox" to refer to
photocopiers.
There are so many of them ... this one sounds a lot like
http://www.spews.org
- which does list /24s if an ISP is unresponsive. No, "spam originates from
elsewhere, only the sites are hosted with us" doesn't cut ice with *any*
DNSBL ...
If your client is collateral damage, not directly implicated in the spam,
then there shouldn't be any hassle whitelisting him and providing relay for
him. If he happens to be referenced in the nomination as a spammer, if you
smarthost for him you'll find your networks listed, quite likely.
Oh btw, "fascist" sounds like a Godwin invocation ... dont start on that
please. Lots of ISPs (including some very large ones, such as some of the
baby bells, use spews.org)
