Filing a PR regarding these things is not the way to go, there are no postmasters anywhere on the PR lists so they should be contacted directly when having issues. That said; as mentioned in my PR reply and in the follow-up on this email by Lupe, there aren't many things you can do to avoid getting in the RBL, if enough people (manually or automatically) tell the system you are a spamhost, it will list you without additional checking, SORBS and a couple of others are known (At least to me) to have false positives every now and then. Beyond that people are free to choose the DNSbl they want to, but they should also cope with the fall out from their own decision. Thanks again for the willingness to improve FreeBSD!
