What is an inquiry? |
|
|
The following is what is returned as the result
of an email inquiry.

|
|
|
|
|
Subject: Results of inquiry for IP/Network
|
|
|
|
|
|
This service maintains a list of IP addresses that are, in some way, associated with mailing lists that are, in the opinion of the list maintainer, not following the 'best practices' of operating mailing lists. |
|
|
You end up on this list by not confirming email
addresses, either now or in the past, before sending mail to those addresses.
IPs are added to this list by a semi-automated process. Please send mail
to mlfaq@nym.cryptofortress.com for more details.

with a subject of:

to obtain the status of an IP address.
E.g. to find out the status of IP #1.2.3.4, you use:
Subject: Status 1.2.3.4
Send mail to: mlretest+SubscriptionCode@nym.cryptofortress.com to signify that all mailing lists associated with a given IP/Network have been converted to use a closed-loop confirmed address verification system, and that all addresses have been reconfirmed. This will cause the IP/Network in question to be taken off of the list, subject to DNS propagation. Any further messages sent to the subscription test addresses after this point will cause a permanent listing to be made. In other words, you only get one chance to get it right, so test well before using this option. |

Although this list is not affiliated with the Mail
Abuse Prevention System (MAPS), the list operator does agree with the principles
articulated at:
http://mail-abuse.org/manage.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
The focus of this list is that a closed-loop confirmation
system must be used to obtain the permission of the actual owner of an
email address before it can be added to *any* mailing list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Candidate IPs and mailing lists are found when mailing
lists are started to addresses for which a closed-loop process was not
used. Candidate IPs are generally programmatically tested, and mailing
lists that fail to conform will have the IPs that are associated with them
added to this list. This includes addresses that are obtained from 'partners'
or by other means.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mailing lists that are sent to non-existent addresses
within a domain are also subject to listing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mailing lists that have always followed this practice
will not appear on this list. Mailing lists that are using addresses that
were not obtained by this process are subject to listing.
