I received a mail in return for the one I sent to the list requesting me to click a link to verify I exist for anti spam purposes. The company looks legit, though I don't like html mail... Does anyone other than the sender have any experience or views of this or similar companies ?
I personally like a proactive approach on the ISP's part, such as open relay checking and maintaining a local blacklist. There are other approaches too, I am trying to decide exactly what to implement on one of my servers right now. The "tagged message" method is a reasonable method, but not exactly the most polite thing for things such as mailing lists. If everyone used that, people would conceivably receive thousands every post they sent to a mailing list. There are other downsides to it.
