How about this one....

BTW, all true :-)

How does AOL plan on acting upon messages based on HELO checks?
P.S. I wrote that functionality into qmail in about 10 minutes... I'm
curious just what AOL is doing differently that requires the 30 day
window given the trivial nature of such a check? Can you go into any
more detail?
Cheers,

I have proprietary MTAs, Development cycles, QA and installation that must
work well for about 90 million mailboxes.
It takes a little while longer :-)
