Re: Some thoughts about spam and SPF

I would ask them if they would like that their little kids or paretns
see those stuff.

Isn't hard to find out what is and what's not a opt-in mailing list,
and these people are able to  white list whoever they want.

my servers receive tons of porn daily comming from yahoo groups and
other groups and this isn't a motive to block them.

And I can use that law that says "your rights ends where the other
rights starts", I hadn't problems til now. It hard to find someone
with balls to call saying: "Hey I'm a porn addicted, I wanna receive
those emails"

So, little heat dude. As I told you I'm dealing with huge bases here
in Brasil, I don't remember having big problems (for last 5 years).

And when we talk about corporate email I doubt any CEO would be happy
to know that they employees are  receving porn on its business mail
boxes, unless they are a adult company :D

Koen, it was an example, to sell cheap BLACK LABEL meds is a federal
crime here like selling porn to kids under 18. I'm not deciding
anything I'm following the rules, if u wanna receive something the
rule says you can't its just a matter to say "I want it" and to create
a rule to accept that email. This way I'm forcing few mailers do mail
with same address or same domain.

As I told before, I don't wanna start a flame war here, I just wanna
make clear my opinion that is, if u mail following rules u'll sell
more, u'll raise your profits, u won't waste time offering mortgage
for brazillian people because they even don't know what mortgage
means, and this way my users that really want to buy from you will be
able to white list you.

That's why I believe in SPF and don't agree with a lot of anti forgery
stuff poping out.

Regards Koen!

I think isn't interesting for spammers mail wrong people, they waste
money and time. So I really HOPE that SPF will make things at least
more clear and easy to track. I won't block a spammer that has his SPF
registered domain sending useful stuff unless it "burns" my smtp
servers with junk or my users complain, or if they are sending porn
stuff (I think this is the biggest problem regarding spam)

You know there are a lot of people who are quite happy to receive porn stuff 
in their mail? What gives you the right to decide cheap meds are ok and porn 
not?
