Hello,

I was wondering..Is there a website (or a thread in this forum) listing all email providers who systematically block PTR emails?

I know aol.com and 163.com are doing that, and I now block all signups with those addresses.

I would like to know this so I can prevent future problems with my site. At the moment there are only 500 members. But when I get like 2000, I really want to avoid all those bounced emails.

I know some WMs tell their members to add the site's addresses in their address book. That seems to work sometimes, but far from always. And most of the time the members don't do it anyways.

So a list with all those over-zealous-spam-blocker email providers would be quite helpful.

Thanks,
Olivier
