Best Answer

In the "McCarthy era" (1950 ~ 1954) any actor who was suspected of being a communist sympathizer was put "black listed" and found it almost impossible to find work. Homosexuals were black listed and removed from government jobs. We get the same thing today in a more subtle way when a person like an actor can't find work because of their political views, but that is more an industry thing than an official government policy. Certain movie studios or TV networks will only use people who have the same political view as the owners. You can rest assured that Rush Limbaugh will probably not end up as the News Anchor on CBS and Al Franken will most likely not host a show on Fox.

That was actually how the Soviets developed nuclear weapons. Whatever way in which blacklists hurt America, they actually helped more.

Do blacklist services check your IP address or the hostname that its being submitted from?

Yes. There are actually hundreds of those RBL (realtime blacklists). Each of them has their very own policy and each has their own criteria for blacklisting. Some lists utilize just IP addresses. Some lists utilize only domain. Some even use whole URLs. Plus all the huge suppliers like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and so on have their very own internal blacklists that are not visible from outside at all and they likewise have their very own guidelines.


What should you do to make sure that your emails are all delivered?

Each mail company, specifically the huge ones like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail and so on has their own spam filtering policies. In addition, every one of them have their own internal blacklists that are not visible to us these are not regular RBL blacklists you can see. The only option that I find is to obtain yourself an e-mail box on among those or all of them and try to send out from your server to this mail box. In some cases, you will see the result that will wind up in the spam folder. If that happens check to see if there is a description for this in the mail headers.


What does a server spam filter do?

What was a blacklist How did political witch-hunts result in these lists?

In general, a blacklist is a list of people or organizations suspected of crimes or of activities to undermine the society. In the case of the witch-hunt against communism in the McCarthy era, the blacklist consisted of people and organizations suspected of communist and anti-American sympathies. The original blacklist was drawn up by Senator McCarthy, but he forced people to add their own blacklists to his - and some did not even need much forcing, such as Ronald Reagan, the later US President. His blacklist meant the end of the careers of a great number of his Hollywood fellow-actors and movie makers. In the end, a Congressional Committee scrutinized the blacklists and found them to be " a tissue of fabrications". It meant the end of McCarthy's career.
