A member of one of the mailing lists I read wrote in saying that one
of his client's
computers was on the CBL,
a well known an extremely reliable list of zombie-controlled
computers that send spam.
He assumed it was due to bounce blowback,
and was asking for copies of the messages that caused the listing.
Even though the computer
in question was a Windows box running Exchange that was also
a NAT gateway to a local network,
the Exchange logs didn't show anything, and
he didn't believe the problem was zombie,
He didn't get a lot of sympathy.
Late in the conversation, Steven Champeon of
hesketh.com, who
heads the Enemieslist anti-spam
project, sent
a fine summary explaining what you do when you show up on the CBL.
It's adapted here with his permission.

perhaps .cat and .mobi, they've missed their estimates of the number
of registrations by orders of magnitude, and they haven't gotten mindshare
in the target community.
So what went wrong? Users stopped caring about TLDs.
