A few replies inline, but, in general, I only run two small exits, so the level of effort and amount of spam I get is very low (my blocklist currently only has three entries :) ). If any other exit operators have a similar "I try to help educate you, if you don't bother responding I'll start dropping your emails" policies, I'm happy to figure out a way to grow this, but for now I'll note that probably want to just blackhole anything from autogenerated@blocklist.de :).

Right, I don't run large exits currently, only a few 10s of Mbps, so I can tolerate a few minutes of work responding each time and adding to the blocklist after a few failed responses :). - snip - > I hear personal frustration rather than pointing out any problem. Keeping > an email server clear of RBLs is real work, but also not that hard if you Ironic that my mail landed in a spam folder given its from a server on a /24 that doesn't host much else and that I personally own, has never sent spam, and is not on any RBLs. EMail is broken, this shouldn't be news. Matt
