The 'trusted' part is probably the root (excuse the pun) of the idea in the first place. Just because it is non-profit, doesn't mean it is immune from outside forces, sometimes political, in all senses of the word. There are many that question some of the decisions that are made, for all kinds of reasons, and the questions become doubt, which breed mistrust.. and so on. Even it's handling on who gets the ever shrinking IPv4 space is highly controversial.

Agressive or not, agree with them or not, MessageLabs has definitely suffered from a major outbreak over the last few weeks. However, so have several other well known Spam Filtering technologies..

What about all the email marketers? They only need one IPv4, not a /17 (Yes, they are out there).. Start reclaiming some of those.. 174.123.61.34: mail.rentpink.co.cc 5 174.123.61.35: mail.vonpink.co.cc 2 174.123.61.36: mail.alneedthings.co.cc 3 174.123.61.37: mail.bineedthings.co.cc 2 174.123.61.40: mail.caneedthings.co.cc 2 174.123.61.41: mail.chneedthings.co.cc 6 174.123.61.43: mail.deneedthings.co.cc 4 174.123.61.44: mail.epneedthings.co.cc 6 174.123.61.46: mail.fineedthings.co.cc 4 2.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan.vendaagil.com. 3.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina.comprecomestilo.com. 4.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian.rapidasofertas.com. 5.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan1.vendaagil.com. 6.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina1.comprecomestilo.com. 7.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian1.rapidasofertas.com. 8.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan2.vendaagil.com. 9.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina2.comprecomestilo.com. 10.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian2.rapidasofertas.com. 11.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan3.vendaagil.com. 12.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina3.comprecomestilo.com. 13.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian3.rapidasofertas.com. 14.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan4.vendaagil.com. 15.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina4.comprecomestilo.com. 16.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian4.rapidasofertas.com. 17.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan5.vendaagil.com. 18.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina5.comprecomestilo.com. 19.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian5.rapidasofertas.com. 20.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan6.vendaagil.com. 21.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina6.comprecomestilo.com. 22.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian6.rapidasofertas.com. 23.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan7.vendaagil.com. 24.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina7.comprecomestilo.com. 25.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian7.rapidasofertas.com. 26.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan8.vendaagil.com. 27.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina8.comprecomestilo.com. 28.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dartaian8.rapidasofertas.com. 29.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer natan9.vendaagil.com. 30.103.90.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer felina9.comprecomestilo.com.

It was in the days of OS2 which I was experimenting with, It was SO better than windows.. however, I had a dream of creating a great new multi player game with THOUSANDS of players, using this internet thing.. and I needed good multi tasking but I was really poor.. I think it was 0.98. They said that you couldn't run it on 4 MEG of ram, but it worked.. I think I was running about 32 hours for a kernel compile.. but MAN Linus.. I had something to look forward to didn't I :) So, now years later... I never did get that game online.. but LinuxMagic was borne...
