Pick one that doesn't get placed on the >RBL.Personally, I agree with Christopher. Unfortunately, I do not see a way around it. If you do not filter spamers, how do you stop them? If you do filter spamers, how to do stop from occasionally hurting people in Christopher's situation? I dunno. Suggestions?
Just to be clear, I would not, do not, and cannot tell another network how to filter their e-mail, traffic, prefixes, etc. I have no right to do so. (But I certainly will make fun of some of them for the way they filter - which is a right I have. :)
