I am assuming you mean you have been listed at backscatterer.org...

 

I must admit that I find something particularly distasteful about being on the
receiving end of sender validation lookups, especially considering that some of
our servers receive email for domains which they do not send email for. In my
opinion, nobody should rely on someone else's resources (memory and CPU time) to
work out if they should accept an email, and I guess that the Backscatter
blacklist was built on this basis - their sender callout policy is here -
http://www.backscatterer.org/?target=sendercallouts and I have to say that I
agree with all points.

 

I am pretty sure that this has been discussed on-list before and that some
people have very strong feelings in both ways regarding callouts, so it might be
worth searching the list archives for further info on the subject.

Best Regards, 

Richard
