Spamhaus also ruins legitamite uses of email.

I am fighting Spamhaus and it has nothing to do with Spam.
They totally have mislead the public into believe it is a legitamite service.

While they do block spam, they also block thousands of legitamite personal and business emails, every single day.
They dont have resources to maintain their lists , and they do not maintain an accurate list of spammers.

Not only that, they illegally violate people's privacy by reviewing personal email as it is screened by their servers.

It's just as bad as the spam itself . Companies will have to maintain their own lists to fight spam.

I know of 10 companies that recently abandoned Spamhaus because of privacy violations and the blocking of legitamite email.
