Worse than useless. Irresponsible and evil:
host smtp.secureserver.net [64.202.166.12]: 553 Attack detected. <
http://unblock.secureserver.net/?ip=66.218.47.177>
They have deliberate.com blacklisted and not one spam has ever come
out of deliberate.com, since I'm the only user and I have nothing to
sell. Otherwise, this ip runs email lists where only the addresses on
the lists can send mail to the lists. And we run email-based polls.
So one voter can not get his vote receipt.
And, I filled in their unblock web form and still I'm blacklisted
.. for a few weeks now.
