The agreement Paul Vixie makes RBL users sign states that EXPLICITLY.
No.
You are not allowed to use the RBL unless you disclose such use fully to your customers and/or downstreams.
There is apparently some ambiguity surrounding my use of the verb "publish" in the RBL Subscriber Agreement. I will see that this is fixed in V2.1.
"Makes"... makes how? I simply enabled it in my sendmail configs and ran with it. Didn't even SEE where it mentioned that I *HAD* to go agree to stuff.
There is no requirement that anyone sign a license if they aren't subscribing, where "subscribing" means receiving it as an eBGP4 or DNS "feed". If you're using "FEATURE(rbl)" in sendmail 8.9.0, or a similar feature of other mailers, you're using the RBL but you're not a subscriber (and more power to you).
Dunno what the solution is, but I can see a somewhat real problem here.
The first line of complaint is the ISP who uses the RBL. If someone turns it on without notifying their customers / downstreams, they'll hear about it right quick. -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA "Many NANOG members have been around <paul () vix com> longer than most." --Jim Fleming pacbell!vixie!paul (An H.323 GateKeeper for the IPv8 Network)
