None the less, here is a recent email extract I received from someone:
...
"Hank, I am not a Spamhaus.org representative in any shape or form. I do not claim to speak for Spamhaus.org in any capacity. The University of xxxxxx is, however, a customer (i.e. as of this morning, we block e-mails from IP addresses listed on Spamhaus SBL).
...
Basically, we are being told if we don't drop the customer, our corporate MXes will be blocked. I would not call this an "extreme case", but it would appear that overzealous anti-spammers are perhaps going a bit overboard.
i'd say that's more than a little bit of a reach. they admit right up front that they don't speak for spamhaus (steve linford can speak for spamhaus, and he's apparently reading this thread on nanog.) a spamhaus customer can hardly threaten a spamhaus listing, only spamhaus investigators can do that. what you're describing doesn't sound like a situation that would get you onto spamhaus. this spamhaus customer is talking through their hat. additionally, to the best of my knowledge, spamhaus listing and escalation procedures differ from the ones you described. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty () averillpark net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
