Let me reword...
What is stopping someone coming on the list, making a claim like you
have in an attempt to actually cause a DOS attack, by having some
clumsy network engineers starting to block traffic in reaction to your
post?
I'm sure that you've done your investigation (dont get me wrong) and
your might sure be right in your assertions, nevertheless evidence is
pretty much needed for a claim like that!

Ok, but back to my point - what is the evidence and how are people to
trust what your saying?

Let me get this right.. You use your own mail server and have problems
filtering spam.
I use gmail and don't have that problem.

The only time I have problems is when I try and send an email to some
muppet that has blocked gmail & hotmail & god knows what else.
Perhaps you should do yourself a favour, turn off your mail server and
open up a gmail/hotmail account like the rest of the population.
