Very excellent job, Chris.
Did I hit the mark on collateral damage Rich?
Re, this bit:
Inevitably, some of these listings may impact non-abusive email.
This has, perhaps inevitably, resulted in some labelling such
practises by the emotionally loaded term "collateral damage". In
this context it has to be remembered that no filtering technique is
perfect, and that occasional mistake is inevitable no matter what is
used, DNSBLs or otherwise.
I have no idea off the top of my head for better wording, but I do
worry that the wording relating to mistakes implies that collateral
damage listings are never intentional; always in error. Besides the
potential for untruth there, it gives a listee a huge wedge to use to
complain about the list. "BCP says these kind of listings are
mistakes....and the list won't fix the mistakes!"
I'm fine with it if everyone else is, but I'm curious if others see
this as a potential issue as well.
Best,
Al Iverson
