2. I disagree with you. Negative reputation is something no-one wants, nor
should you be able to buy your way out of it. Conversely, a positive bump to
differentiate you from the competition is valuable (but no, no-one who is a
crappy sender could bribe their way onto the list, not while I was there, and
not since I left), and something those that benefit from the service should pay
for, just as ISPs should pay for the use of a DNSBL.
Er, well that works well when you're dealing with saint.com and
sinner.com, but real world entities are often a blend of each. This
is going to be particularly true of domain based reputation dealing
with $megacorp. In that case, trying to get off blacklists and onto
whitelists with money or threats or combinations of both is going
to produce real life conflicts of interest. For both operators. How
well did the Usenet Death Penalty work against the invading aol, etc
hordes? Not very as I recall, and that was before the Big Bux were
involved that invariably grease the wheels.
