Yes.  God help you if you ever get on their list.  It's damned near
impossible to get off--even if you were incorrectly listed or can prove
whatever was wrong has been fixed.

They provide NO mechanism to unlist yourself or submit your site for a
check (or didn't last time I checked), and if you were unfairly listed,
they offer no apologies if they do take you off.

Their blocks can be draconian...I've seen them list an entire /19
network because ONE server had been compromised.

I applaud their efforts, but the way they do things is really, really
bush league.  If you're going to label someone as a spammer based on
someone else's say-so, you'd better provide ways to get off the list if
you've been put on it.  They don't, and that's why I consider them
Nazis.

always be a spammer
