That is true. Some? of the blacklists will blacklist any site that COULD
be used, based entirely on whether they have things like reverse DNS
configured properly.
How about an entire Community College being blacklisted (without ever
having been hijacked)? And the "Network Administrator" is apparently not
capable of fixing it!
I remember when Dalnet blacklisted AOL users for several months. Really
put the dampers on my IRC activities, as one of my better friends was an
AOL subscriber.
What really is needed is stronger rules on unsolicited e-mails. Maybe
something like a no-send list, like we have here in Missouri for
telemarketers.
