I seldom post here because the couple of times I have followed-up to
correct wrong statements in nanog regarding Spamhaus, such as the
above, I have each time been told by nanog's admin that I will be
removed from the nanog list if I respond to any question in nanog
regarding Spamhaus again. But, here goes:
The statement by Ben Browning: "I know several businesses who have,
and a great many people who have blocked UUNet space from sending
them email ... by using ... the SBL" is false, the SBL has never
blocked UUNet/MCI IP space that wasn't directly in the control of
spammers. If Mr Browning does indeed know "several businesses and a
great many people" whose UUNet/MCI IP space has been blocked by the
SBL, then Mr Browning knows several spam outfits and a great many
spammers.
