They're not properly setup if they have a dynamic IP address, and most xDSL customers get a dynamic IP. Given that 95% of all email is spam, and 90% of that is from bot infected PCs on consumer xDSL/cable lines, would you have the world stop summarily blocking the hundreds of millions of dynamic IP hosts simply to let the few thousand Linux weenie servers on dynamic IPs send mail without being molested? Are you kidding? If any of you 'combatants' in this thread had every run a non trivial sized mail operation, you'd change your tune on this subject in very short order, after trying to deal effectively with a few hundred thousand connections/day from bots attempting push spam into your users' mailboxen. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
