Infinite Monkeys and other BLs

[Mariano Absatz]

Er... why, when there's an open public searchable web archive of the list 
you're only searching your partial and relatively new (only 4 months old) 
list archive?

You seem to be not only a mediocre sysadmin, but also a poor searcher... 
a quick search in http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?S1=mailscanner 
quickly found in http://tinyurl.com/36b5d a copy of the message stating 
Infinite-Monkeys was taking down its RBL service... as it is publicly 
known, starting in the middle of last year, most (free, open) antispam 
services were wildly attacked by spammers, making most of them completely 
unfeasable...

You seem to use some free open stuff (e.g. MailScanner, Infinite-Monkeys 
long dead RBL)... 

Would you explain what is the reward you provide to those projects or the 
people behind them?

Do you find that one of them (e.g. I-M RBL) didn't comply with a written 
guarantee they provided? Where's that guarantee written?

Did you ever threatened to sue Microsoft for providing the most unsecure 
environment, prone to all kinds of easy attacks? or did you read their 
EULA saying something along the lines of "if it doesn't work for you, 
it's your problem" and even "if you loose information or whatever because 
of this software we will only be responsible up to the price you paid for 
the license"?

Maybe Ron Guilmette will reimburse the money you paid him for using his 
RBL (about $0)...
