list managemnt issue

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Can someone *NOT* blackhole anyone?

I'm sorry Joel.  This is a hot-button.  I've found myself blackholed in 
the past because I was on an ISDN modem, on DSL, from a University, and 
once for an open relay... that I didn't run.

Getting out of the blackhole list is a PITA, and sometimes unachievable.

I've firmly decided that blackhole/blacklisting spammers/potential 
spammers/someone I just don't like/etc. isn't the answer.  I've had 
considerable success with graylisting, but that's not the problem here.

What I guess I'm asking here is for the listadmin to unceremoniously 
unsubscribe *@systemsfirm.net for much the same reason you asked for 
them to be blackholed.

Blacklist/blackhole implementations are, IMO, broken at best, and a 
number of the administrators of same I've dealt with are pompous 
juveniles who can't interact with a human when they make a mistake.
