Other times mails gets denied because of some blocking service who thinks the hecnet
mails are just spam, or the host (Update) is untrustworthy, or have a bad reputation or
what not. Usually not much I can do about those either. If people (or companies) decide to
make use of such services, and such services give that kind of information, it essentially
just means that you'll not be getting the hecnet mails any more.
I used to encounter some of these, haven't seen them recently. Your comment was
rather more polite than what I would say. I consider those blacklists to be idiot systems
run by people with bonapartist tendencies. That opinion was formed some years ago when a
well known blacklist outfit took it upon itself to (deliberately and proudly) block all
Comcast addresses. The excuse given was that some Comcast customers are spammers. Which
of course is a garbage argument.
