Title
MIPSpace - Just Say No To Email Marketing
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Sometimes referred to as 'Grey Area Spam', the problem has reached a point where in some cases up to 65% of rejected email is now from aggresive email marketing campaigns. End users have not had the ability to choose to reject email marketing campaigns, and in many cases end users do not even know how they 'Opted In' for such 3rd party mailings.

Unfortunately, what they don't always tell their paying customers is that they achieve a high rate of spam rejection at the cost of an extremely high rate of false positives -- meaning that they routinely blacklist IP ranges for which there is no evidence of actual spamming activity, thereby blocking legitimate email from legitimate senders with their paying customers often not even realizing it. (This isn't rocket science: anyone can cut out a huge amount of spam by just refusing to accept any message from an address at hotmail.com, yahoo.com, or gmail.com. But as a paying customer, would you really want that?)
Mipspace is careful to refer to their list as a "blocklist", not a "blacklist", thereby attempting to skirt the potentially fraudulent territory of presenting their technology as anti-spam, when in fact is anti-lots-of-things, of which real spam is just one small part.
