Nope. My personal experience with these orbses is: f*ck them.
A good lot of them are _not_ contacting blacklisted ISPs. But on the
other hand, some at least allow fast _unlisting_.
I give you the simple and well-thought hint _not_ to use a mail
configuration relying on _external_ databases whatsoever. I mean why
do you trust somebody you have never met or seen or maybe even talked
to to _filter_ your email traffic. This is obviously most ridiculous
and has _nothing_ to do with security.
I mean just sit down and think it over for a minute...

Stephan
