In a case like this we would list any IPs from which *only* come confirmed lists separately, so that they would get the 127.3.100.10 listing. Otherwise we would look at the lowest common denominator and use that data code response. > Also, the pricing seems a bit whacked - are you *really* expecting > sites that have less than 30 customers to pay $200/month? I know a > *lot* of people who have formed collectives of 10-15 people who chip > in and get a 1U at a colo.... I've already answered this on the fly, separately, but it bears repeating. If you are talking about non-commercial mailing lists, that would probably qualify for the newsletter publisher rate, which is only $10/month. It's also critical that people understand that you are now talking about *being listed* in IADB, not about querying IADB, which is always free (We've heard from at least one list member who thought these rates being talked about were to *query* the list). > It's totally unclear how you can encode an "individual" listing - that > whole "stuff to the left of the @ sign" thing is rather unhandy... Are you asking about "is there a data response code for "individual"? There *could* be, but we determined that in the scheme of things which most receiving systems care about, it doesn't matter. What matters is the type of mail they send. Anne
