MAPS RBL going to court

[Bob Tanner <tanner@real-time.com>]

Great article on slashdot about the MAPS RBL being sued.

As an ISP that tried to maintain our own internal spammer database, the RBL
was a gift from the net-gods. As soon as I found out about it I subscribed
Real Time to the database.

Since that time I have only got about 5 spam messages over the last 2 months.
This is a huge decrease in the number of spam messages I use to get.

The largest aspect of the RBL has been that we block approximately 100,000
spam messages a month now. Spam is so bad that we block more spam now then we
deliver legit messages.

I hope MAPS wins this cause, I hate to have to go back to maintaining my own
database.
