The problem is not you, the problem are the other morons who think like you *and* can't operate mail servers. With that I mean: I have no reason to believe that you cannot operate a mail server, so don't read this as an attack at all. But for everyone who can operate a mail server, 1000 others run one and have no clue. Thus, it's a good idea to restrict the set of IPs that are to act as legitimate mail servers, and DUL is one way to do so effectively. also sprach Jonas Smedegaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2005.06.19.1405 +0200]: > > These days, any moron and their father can set up a mail server > > with proper queuing.

Countries like America seem to work like this across the entire legal system. :) Jonas then said: > No, I don't want the ISPs of those networks to decide how emails > should be treated. For what it's worth: how do you know they don't intercept the mail that your mail spool then sends out? There is very little keeping them from inserting transparent filters into the SMTP channel; I've seen it done. Point being: if you don't trust your ISP, switch! If you cannot, learn to deal, get politically active and work on antitrust, or move. I have no further intention to argue my position here for I am perfectly aware that people disagree. I maintain that I think DUL are a good thing and I will continue using them. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
