[dba-Tech] Use of Blacklists on mail servers

Well, if this blacklisting doesn't work out for me, I know where to go
:-)
The price seems reasonable.

Hi Erwin

I don't really think so. Spammers need just to use - or distribute to
the bots - an engine that acts as a true sending SMTP server. However,
to make that work, a connection for delivery of one spam will consume
many minutes contrary to the split second it takes for a bot to deliver
to an unprotected mail server. And time is money; it just wouldn't be
cost effective for the pro spammer.

Problem again is as always, that as soon as this kind of technology get
widespread, the spammers will adjust their software accordantly and
where back to square one.
So you better not tell this to everyone :-)
