I have a comment: NO WAY IN HELL. The day that we start rejecting DUL posts is the day that several people leave the project, me included. How many ISPs these days route mail worth a damn? The RBL is a reasonable list and is a last resort anyway. RSS is a concern, but I would accept it if the majority of people felt it was necessary. The DUL is just going to hurt Debian. I'm still on at least one mailing list that I _CANNOT_ even unsub from because mail is filtered before it ever gets to the requester. Needless to say, I have considered taking drastic action regarding this stupidity. For the record, I'm talking about the GGI Project's ggi-develop list, which I used to follow. -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG key 1024D/DCF9DAB3 Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org/) 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC The QuakeForge Project (http://quakeforge.net/) 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast.
