Microsoft Blacklist Strategy Swaps Accuracy For MS's Convenience
Want to make email easy on your mail servers? Do it the Microsoft IT way. Reject messages from senders that show up on realtime block lists (a.k.a., blacklists, RBLs).More here.
Microsoft IT claims that using RBLs as their first line of defense results in killing 80% of all incoming messages.
You gain other benefits, as well. The processing muscle required for a simple RBL lookup is nothing, so your gateway server can handle tons of messages.
There is, however, a downside.
Innocent users and organizations frequently find themselves on blocklists for a variety of reasons, some of which are flat-out silly.
