If you don't grasp the concepts I've been speaking of, and you don't grasp the depth of the bot spam problem, then yes, from a spam fighting or mail operations standpoint, you are definitely "new". > To be fair, I have realised in re-reading my post that I had mistakenly > edited out the "I have a static IP address and proper rDNS" statement > I had originally written. If you're unable to differentiate your setup and that of the classic consumer/"home" broadband host, then there's no point continuing this conversation really. This situation seems something like this analogy: I'm 6'4" and about 185. Someone calls me "fat ass" and I take offense. Doesn't make sense does it since I'm not remotely fat. You took offense to the term "home" user, but to a receiving MTA your host looks nothing like a "home" broadband host. > On the basis of that new information I'd still appreciate knowing whether > you still stand by your sweeping statement about disallowing all "home" > users, or whether you'd modify it at all. Please re-read my posts. This isn't about 'class warfare'. It's about blocking bot spam. "Home user" broadband connected PCs just happen to make up the vast bulk of bot infected machines. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
