RBL Spam Blocking

To protect you from spam, we use RBL spam blocking. The system works like this: www.SpamHaus.org keeps a database of known spammers. When new mail arrives at our servers, the database at www.SpamHaus.org is checked to see if the sender is listed. If his IP address is listed in the database, the message is blocked.

The sender receives a bounce email with a URL to the SpamHaus database. If they care enough to follow the URL, they can learn how to get removed from the blacklist. Most spammers don't bother to receive bounce messages, so they never bother to get removed. Fine by us!
