Topic: RBL registration checking opinions

Just wanting opinions on whether the general idea is good or bad with regards to checking the Spamhaus SBL-XBL during the registration against the users I.P. Am I being too draconian?


Cheers,

Matt

Re: RBL registration checking opinions

Cheers. smile Just on a related note, what do you do if someone contacts you regarding having been blocked by it from registering? Had one contact me a week or two since, due to the fact that his I.P was in the CBL, and was on at least its second consecutive listing for a Storm trojan infection.
