Do you also explain to them that they may miss important mail because
the process of blocking/filtering mail is imperfect? Do you explain that
blocking and filtering is based on the opinions and prejudices of those
that construct them? In other words, is the ability to control
blocking/filtering really based on your users' informed consent?
ISPs can and should decide how best to run their own mail servers with
the customer's best interest in mind. If that includes use of DNSbls,
then so be it.
There you go again. You claim that your users have the ability to
control their own mailin one sentence, and then in the next you turn
around and tell me that you, as big daddy in the sky, have to do things
to them that are "in their best interests."
Nobody said anything about "no accountability." I sense here nothing more
than a strong hatred of DNSbls, likely due to a bad experience with them.
Well, let's see. My mail got blocked. I spoke to the blocklist, who told
me that they only publish the list and they are not responsible for its
use. I spoke to the ISP, who told me that they only use the blocklists
and are not responsible for their content. Hey, lots of accountability
here...
