For Whom the Bounce Tolls

Name: For Whom the Bounce Tolls
Description: A heavy metal dirge for the sender who blasts first and reads logs never — "For Whom the Bounce Tolls" maps the catastrophic cascade from a spam-trap-riddled list to 550 rejections, blacklist scoring, and the final inbox silence of a blocked and reputation-destroyed IP.

A heavy metal dirge for the sender who blasts first and reads logs never — "For Whom the Bounce Tolls" maps the catastrophic cascade from a spam-trap-riddled list to 550 rejections, blacklist scoring, and the final inbox silence of a blocked and reputation-destroyed IP.

Verse 1

Watch them send on the batch in the early day

Spam traps wait deep inside

Mailing list, poorly built, through the endless grey

Let them fly, metrics high, but it's us who say

For a lead, brands will bleed. Why? We do not know

We reject, crush their pride

Five-five-o, none survive through our server's glow

They go mad from the blocks that we make them know

Chorus

For whom the bounce tolls

Blocks marching on

For whom the bounce tolls

Verse 2

Read the logs from our host just before you die

It's the last send you'll try

Blacklist score, lock the door, drop them from the sky

Shattered rep fills your soul as we hear you cry

You are blind to the rules of our mystery

We make silence so loud

Hard bounce hits, all is gone, we revoke the key

Now you see what will be, blocked IP to see

Chorus

For whom the bounce tolls

Blocks marching on

For whom the bounce tolls
