team.net's IP address isn't on any published spam blackhole list
I can find. Ameritech must have put them on their own.
I'm conflicted about spam blacklists--- on one hand my domain
would be useless without my own blacklist. We'd be
overrun with spam to the point that our network
would be clogged. On the other hand, as a list
administrator, when I receive bounce messages
from list subscriber's ISPs wrongly rejecting list
traffic as "spam", I usually unsubscribe those people.
Any spam blacklist that doesn't have an easy way for
non-spammers to get off it is broken. Mine does, but
I have run into few others that do. And of course
it's not reasonable to ask a list admin to do something
to allow each subscriber to get list mails.
So a per-user 'whitelist' should also be implemented.
But no ISP does that.
