From 0231f058534aa7e3845c0b02306a17d68eae63c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Cech Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2015 14:00:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] introduce whitelist gathers domains that are often on blacklists but should not be reasoning by @foresto from https://gist.github.com/adamloving/4401361#gistcomment-1493544: The claim that "sending email to these domains likely will not be opened" is misguided and misleading at best. For example, spamgourmet and its alternative domains allow me to discover which web sites share my email address without my permission, which is one of the few effective defenses against spam. Like many users, I open every single message sent to my spamgourmet addresses unless the sender is has proven to be a spammer (this is exactly spamgourmet's purpose after all) which makes your claim just plain wrong. Sadly, lists like this one have led some web sites to refuse signups to legitimate users, or worse yet, to silently discard outgoing messages to legitimate addresses. Congratulations. You're encouraging broken web sites, lost information, failed communications, increased spam, and just plain bad user experiences. I suggest you rethink this, or at least do a decent job of keeping legitimate domains off of your list. --- whitelist.conf | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) create mode 100644 whitelist.conf diff --git a/whitelist.conf b/whitelist.conf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6a079ac --- /dev/null +++ b/whitelist.conf @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +spamgourmet.net +spamgourmet.org +spamcannon.com +spamcannon.net +antichef.com +antichef.net +neverbox.com +recursor.net +dfgh.net +xoxy.net
