[SLL] using trusted senders email whitelists?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Anyone using any trusted senders email whitelists (maybe via dnsbl)?

I quickly looked at three. And tested against a list of around 2700 IPs 
with approximately 2400 good senders IPs. (Yes, I know this is a very 
small test.) Some details below:

1) Sender Score Certified (formerly known as Bonded Sender)
(Bonded Sender Program Trusted sender in Bonded Sender Program)

  http://www.senderscorecertified.com/

Senders pay between $1000 to $20000 per year (while receivers use database 
for free).

dnsbl: query.bondedsender.org

** Zero matches against my small database.

2) SuretyMail (formerly known as the ISIPP IADB Email Senders 
Accreditation Program)

ISIPP is Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy
IADB is ISIPP Accreditation Database

Also known has "Vouched for Senders"

senders pay $120 to $3600 per year 

http://www.isipp.com/iadb.php
http://www.isipp.com/receivers.php

(The CEO and a designer of the SuretyMail was an original founder of 
Habeas.)

dnsbl: iadb.isipp.com

** One match against my database. It was for an IP from 
constantcontact.com who sends me spam and mailing lists I don't want. The 
SuretyMail code for the IP is "all mailing list mail is opt-in". I want 
out :)

3) Habeas Accredited Senders

http://www.habeas.com/en-US/Receivers/safelist/

dnsbl: accredit.habeas.com

** Also zero matches against my database.

As you can see I didn't have any success. I was hoping that at least a few 
valid sender IPs were "vouched" and "trusted" senders by these 
organizations.

Please share your thoughts about this.

If I should use different dnsbl hosts let me know. (I list ones I tried 
above.) Maybe I should not reverse the IPs like normal dnsbl?

Any others I should try?

Do any of you provide a public (or private) dnsbl for whitelisting? (I 
know one of you has mentioned that they have a private dnsbl for 
whitelisting.)
