Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/490

spamhaus.org put nsupdate.info onto its domainname black list.

i contacted them after being notified of that, but my issue was just closed without considering my arguments and without removing nsupdate.info from the DBL (as another query on their site showed).

https://check.spamhaus.org/ticketing/?a=ST1503684&b=d632a81406a1d5d1dc1a12cd3be173b0

i filed another ticket there, pointing out that not considering the public suffix list is a bug on their side (and unacceptable behaviour in case they are aware of it and not fixing it):

https://check.spamhaus.org/ticketing/?a=ST1507591&b=9b9540a58077bab645d839a69d6c91d5

i also requested that they confirm they will in future consider the public suffix list before blacklisting domains.

Quoting spamhaus: "The public suffix list does not count, being entirely self-serving."

So, they are aware of it and they do not use it and rather prefer to harm unrelated parties.

More from spamhaus:

It is not my position to discuss the merits of the PSL.
Given its self-serving nature and the fact there are a number of known bad actors.
It would be a fallacy to use it.

Valid TLDs are published by IANA and the NICs of the relevant ccTLDs.

Given the ongoing problems, phish, malware and the likes, there are no plans
to remove this domain at this time.

Regards,
R e

Is still this an issue?

How come a rDNS service would have something to do with that? Hä?

@etkaar I just checked via querying their web form on their site: now it reports nsupdate.info and also the mail server ip we use "has no issues".

So looks like they removed us at some time, great.
