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 :-)
