Did I accidentally give the impression I have a particularly good solution to spam in mind? I don't.

My main suggestion here is just that an established reputation for a specific IP/domain should override the reputation of the IP block it's inside of.

You didn’t make any mistakes encoding, I just screwed up my decoding, it happens :D

Thanks for clarifying, ok, hmm… that seems hard to do if you can check the IP block by using a subnet mask but the specific IP isn’t resolved until later in mailflow. It might not actually work like that in… ProtocolFilterHub? I always get this mixed up, wait… I think this might be something that we are already working on. And have been working on for a while, wow. Looks hairy. It’s stuck since the guy working on it transferred to another team, and no one picked it up, but some PM noticed before I did and put it up for vote in semester planning. Always creepy to see engineers get referred to as “resources”.
