If it leads to user complaints, I don't expect ISPs will do it. Can you
give me a scenario for how a large ISP will try to enlarge its user base
by denying incoming mail from "no reputation available" domains?
Well AOL/RR has already done something like this by blocking on IP
blocks. Some of these connections could in fact be a small supplier
using an IP address in the "wrong" block and it does not seem that
complaints from the users changed anything.
I would like to see large ISPs offer a per-user configuration framework
so these decisions can be overridden at each user's discretion.
I would as well but I do not see this happening. It takes more work to
provide as per user optin/optout scheme but at least Demon UK seems to be
offering something like this with their anti-spam system.
