Uh, if they are sharing blacklists that include a particular IP  
address... I would say that they are definitely blocking something.

>They do not charge you money for delisting.

Really? Then why is this an issue? The fact that they don't pocket  
the money is beside the point.

And what about the fact that they block IP ranges?
And what about the people that got listed because spam with faked  
email addresses that were bounced?
And what about those people on shared servers who end up blocked by  
association?

If it looks like a duck and quacks like it duck....

Start dropping $50 here and there. Before you know it, they'll start  
with, "Next time send the money to US. We need it for expenses."
