Shasta.com Anti-Spam Measures
An explanation of Shasta.com's effort against fighting unsolicited commercial e-mail.
In the continuing fight against unsolicited commercial e-mail, Shasta.com has been busy
adding highly effective tools to help battle spam coming into our e-mail servers.
We are now checking all incoming e-mail with several publicly available blackhole lists. The purpose
of a blackhole list is to maintain an active database of machines connected to the Internet
that are improperly configured and have been known to send spam. No machine is added to these
lists until they have been verified to have been used to send spam.
Due to the nature of the filtering, an unfortunate side-effect is that sometimes legitmate
e-mail may be blocked. In the case of this happening, it is up to the originating Internet Service
Provider to contact the maintainer of the specific blackhole list and to arrange to have the entry
removed. Shasta.com does not control the entrys or the database of the blackhole lists that
we are using, nor are we responsible for adding a Internet Service Provider to the list.
Currently, the Shasta.com mail servers are filtering e-mail based on the data of the following lists:
