| | Antispam group blacklists marketing firm Exactis.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | According to a MAPS statement, approximately 150 mail servers belonging to Exactis.com, a marketing subsidiary of 24/7 Media, were placed on the Realtime Blackhole List (RBL) today, alerting Internet service providers and corporate messaging administrators so they can, if they choose, block e-mail coming from those addresses. |
 | | "The decision to list Exactis' mail servers occurred after Exactis repudiated a previously negotiated agreement to implement measures which would have prevented unsolicited bulk and commercial e-mail from being sent through Exactis' mail servers," wrote a MAPS spokeswoman in the statement. |
 | | Exactis is not following through on their commitment, and as a result, we feel that we have no other option in stemming the steady stream of unsolicited e-mail flowing from their mail servers but to list them in our RBL database. |
