David,
There are less MTAs than MUAs. Fix the MTA not the MUA.
And now you're being illiterate. There are fewer MTAs than
MUAs. And IIM
While I don't normally reply to my own posts, it struck me that were I
living in the USA and so inclined, I may have chosen to repond to this
liablous statment with a trip to my lawyer rather than the list.
Maybe, to protect the reputation of this list and by inference SPF the list
owner should lay down some policy statements of the use of the list and then
enforce them.
I have no problem with people telling me I'm wrong, providing they tell me
why, but I don't like personal attacks that are used to refute argument. It
looks bad for the list and sooner or later someone will be insuted and
decide to take it all the way.
Lets have some rules and have them enforced. It will make for a better
community spirit.
For a freebee here is the requirements from one of my mailing lists:
