The point is, why is rootsweb doing this, not why is Sorbs doing this. They are doing it to make money off suckers. Why is rootsweb doing it.

Will, The "fine" is not paid to RootsWeb, and it is not YOU who would pay it. The ISP who is allowing sp*m to be sent through their servers is the one who would pay SORBS to remove the blacklisting and promise to close any open relays <g> In the case of AOL, one of their mail servers may have been blacklisted accidentally because someone reported as sp*m mail that was sent through that server. AOL will clear it up with SORBS. It usually happens fairly quickly. Pat Asher
