HI U
i have to manage about 100.000 Outgoing / incoming Email to all the world a
year.
all Emails containing important business information , no spam !!
rules like this, beside some other header checkings, realy desturb normal
business email trafic.
i hope the admins out there who read your "TIPS" like me are very carefull
using this.
at all its discriminating to block whole TLD.
probably there are more inteligent ways to filter and stop spam.
mit freundlichem Gruß

I guess you need to use what works for you. But I
couldn't help thinking
"Most crime in England is committed by English people
but I don't know
many Americans so I better classify them all as iffY"
It's the start of
really bad thinking, both morally and internetally.

Oh dear, I have an Ascension Island tld in UK ip space.

Hmzzz... Ik have both a .com and a .nl domain pointing
to a Dutch IP
address... Does that mean my e-mail coming from the
.com domain should be
kill-filed?
Also there are several TV stations using .nl and .tv
domains from both the
Netherlands *and* Luxembourg... *sigh*
