SPAM Blacklists

[t6consultancy]

Hi,

I wish to subscribe to some of the spam blacklists, however I only want mail marked by several blacklists to be filtered, not when just one list has the email sender as bad.

The reason is that in the past clients have had mail servers blocked simply for been on the same range of IP's as a totally unrelated business that got blacklisted by spamhaus.

I checked some of the spam I get and almost all is listed in multiple blacklists.

Also, is it possible to have email returned to sender rather than going AWOL so genuine users know if email has been rejected.

Thanks,
Russell

I think it is probably a bad idea to return spam as almost always the 'from' is forged so you end up spamming innocent people with you returned messages

I agree with David, this is actually how some spam is sent out, by having a spoofed valid from address and a invalid to address, then it bounced back to the spoofed address, which results in the spam being sent.
