Happy New Year

Blogging was light the last few weeks as I coped with the holidays, visitors and a very nasty cold. I have a backlog of posts I want to write over the next few weeks, including a description of stale list syndrome, information about pitfalls of collecting email addresses at the point of sale, and how to improve your IP  reputation.
As I did in 2007, I’ll also keep updating readers to change in Email Standards, continue to update everyone about changes at individual ISPs and comment on the state of the email industry.

Also, Steve has written a new tool to visualize blacklists. He’s put up a beta version. It still has a few bugs and missing features, but there are already some interesting patterns in XBL data with it.
The demo installation only displays XBL data (rather than letting you overlay multiple datasets) and is missing search and bookmarking, amongst other things. Enough disclaimers yet?
