Use of RMX, like an inbound MX, gives the DNSmaster and operators

without the blessing of the DNS gods.
Can this really be how you feel?
Yes.
That a domain owner should not have the ability to decide what mail
gets sent in his or her own name?
Yes.
I don't agree. I didn't appreciate seeing thousands of raunchy
unsolicited advertisements go out over the Internet, signed "webmaster
(at) mikerubel.org." I feel that whoever sent them had no right to
use my name.
I feel quite similarly.
But without RMX, there was nothing I could do about it.
Here we part. I don't consider RMX to be a suitable address to the
problem.
The freedom of a sender to send whatever he wants need not extend to
libel of third parties.
Absolutely. Therefore the problem is to find another more welcome and
facile solution.
