ISP Information pages

I have posted a ISP Information Page. Right now it contains links to Postmaster pages, Whitelist signup pages and FBL signup pages. I have some ideas on what information would be helpful to add, but would like to hear what types of info people would like to have easy access to.

What do you think I should add to the page?

ISP Postmaster Pages

I’ve been working on some reference information about ISPs for my own internal use as well as sharing with clients. There doesn’t seem to be any public reference site for postmaster sites, so I decided to publish what I’ve collected.

ISP	FBL	Whitelist
AOL	Yes	Yes
ATT	No	No
Bellsouth	No	No
CANTV.net	No	No
Charter.net	No	No
Comcast	Yes	No
Cox	Yes	No
Excite	Yes	No
Frontier	No	No
Gmail	No	No
Hotmail/MSN	Yes	No
Juno/Netzero/UnitedOnline	Yes	Yes
Mail.ru	No	No
Mailtrust	Yes	No
Outblaze	Conditional	Conditional
PA.net	No	No
RoadRunner	Coming Soon	No
USA.net	Yes	No
Yahoo	Yes	Yes

Outblaze’s conditions are that you are only sending confirmed opt-in email across all of your IP space. They only provide FBL emails to senders on their whitelist.

RoadRunner is currently publishing “early 2009” for when their FBL will go live. Senders who have a current FBL will need to reapply when the new FBL goes live.

A number of ISPs have email information and postmaster sites available. I found myself compiling a list of them for a client today and thought that I would put up a list here.

AOL: http://postmaster.info.aol.com/
Juno/Netzero/UnitedOnline: http://www.unitedonline.net/postmaster/
MSN/Hotmail: http://postmaster.msn.com/Services.aspx
RoadRunner: http://security.rr.com/spam.htm
Spamcop: http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/94.html
Yahoo: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/
