which ones? remember, DCC is 'bulk', not spam.
someone could have a BAD DCC reputation (using the commercial reputation
filter) as 99% 'bulk', even if it was 100%, double confirmed, bonded opt in.
some others judge reputation based on customer contracts (they get paid
for it). sometimes legitimate, as long as the reputation company
cancels paying clients who violated the TOS.
examples:
one company has a list of 'COI' (supposed to be confirmed opt in). they
have begun a process (see the wiki) of canceling client who claimed COI
but obviously didn't.
that 'reputation' score has more to do with contract ($$) than actual
real time data.
if company2 sees lots of 'spam' from someone on the COI list, and can't
tell (or doesn't know) if this is really COI or just a burp, they might
judge it different.
This is why there are several (We use four different reputation filters)
working on concert to bounce, block or quarantine emails.
