Supermassive Block List

Name: Supermassive Block List
Description: A sender watches their IP range get pulled into the gravitational void of Spamhaus's SBL after pristine spam traps expose poor list hygiene, with 550 rejections piling up in the dead of night. The song dramatizes how blocklist listings happen, why pristine traps are the telltale sign of a bought or scraped list, and what those permanent SMTP rejections really mean.
