which has a specifications and format to help automate a process of
creating an export or update and emailing it to them. Our utility uses
them as an example using a email template to send the a new list or
updated names.
I should note that this was circa 2003 time frame and it was before we
got involved with the then new IETF avs, spoofing, phishing efforts.
It was also the SORBIG emerge with its infamous dual blitz email
attach strategy finally waking up and showing the world we had a
serious spoofing and backscattering issue with ACCEPT/BOUNCE SMTP
systems.
Since then we have our own AVS stuff so that might explain why we
hardly hear from any of our customers needing to outsource some AVS MX
relay host.
I would venture that this was a general trend as more and more systems
began to take more responsibility of the crap coming into their system
have their own built-in set or suite of SMTP based AVS measures - out
of necessity and probably also to eliminate the cost of having to
outsource this functionality.
