it's not, it's not a big deal.  They can have one MX that publishes NO UBE
and one that doesn't, probably on a single set of hardware.  (This is one
of the reasons that NO UBE flag is deliberately a single bit, not a
complex set of knobs and dials.)  The customers who want spam can stay on
the MX without the notice, the other 99% on the MX with the notice.  Same
with Vuurwerk or Schlund.

This isn't rocket science, nor is it even complicated programming.  If
they don't want to use NO UBE, all they have to do is nothing.

Why do people want this to be so much more complicated?

I didn't say it was complicated.  I was pointing out that the problem
wasn't "everybody's entitled to get spam", but that you *do* have to think
about things like "two seperate MX".  So I think we're in agreement here. ;)
