This is exactly the problem with certain e-mail block lists (i.e.
www.spamhaus.org). A few zealots who control this particular block list
have made a decision based on inaccurate information.

Mr. Linford has listed (in his block list) 48 /24s allocated to Infolink
(yes we are a real ISP with real customers) for 2 customers we are
working to terminate.

In addition, as previously mentioned, Mr. Linford refuses to remove
listings once we notify him of the termination.

Given the above, it is imprudent for any network operator (North
American or Other) to use Mr. Linford's SBL to restrict the delivery of
e-mail.

Dynamic block lists such as Spamcop will be much more effective at
blocking spam, while allowing normal e-mail to flow as it should.
