As I'm sure others will point out...
RBL+ (which *includes* DUN and RSS) is $1250 *plus* $50/1000users per =
year.

So it starts at $1300/yr/1000 users (or $1.30/yr, ie $0.11/month/user).
It asymtotically approaches $50/yr/1000 users (ie when you reach =
Aleph-null
users), or $0.05/year/user, or $0.004/month/user.

Unless you only have a thousand users, I'd find it very surprising if =
anyone
had problems fitting this into their business model.

(My opinion here is academic; we don't have "mailboxes" - we're an NSP, =
no
dial/DSL/cable.)
