No, not really. The only way to get off the shitlists is to convince Verio to get rid of the spammers and close the open relays, which they don't seem inclined to do. Vist the news.net-abuse.email newsgroup and search for "verio" for more information. A few complaints to abuse@verio.com, making sure to point out that you're a paying customer might have some effect. Taking your money elsewhere, and letting them know why, would have an even bigger effect. If I didn't have a well-established web page on Best, I would have been long gone by now. -- -ed falk, falk@falconer.vip.best.com.
