IIS SMTP has extremely active newsgroups with Microsoft employees and MVPs watching it closely, and I don't think you will find any _competitive_ spam there (cross-posts about erectile dysfunction are not the issue). There are "equal amounts of spam" *where* and *where*, again? Anyway, the issue was never the sending of spam to private lists, it's your _willing acceptance_ of spam on an _anti-spam_ list. Also, "free vs. free"? Since when? The other product is not a free product; it was spamvertised here as a commercial offering. What kind of spin is going on here? > Tarpitting, country blocking and native Win service and about five > minutes of my time. Sorry and it wasn't just address validation. Just as I thought, it wasn't just address validation. . . so it's complete apples-and-oranges and an irrelevant comparison (IIS SMTP vs. the other product). Of course, IIS SMTP doesn't have the bells and whistles built into _many_ standalone MTAs (not just this particular other product). Everybody knows that. And most of those MTAs are competitors to IMail/SmarterMail/Declude in some fashion. And yet, oh-so-curiously, every other one of those vendors hasn't seen fit to spam this list. Guess they haven't discovered this free billboard space yet. > Unix sendmail is free as well. Wonder why everyone went to Imail. > Hmmmm. Are you seriously suggesting that setting up IIS SMTP with address validation vs. setting up the other product was as hard for you as setting up sendmail vs. IMail? Have you ever set up sendmail? Or was it that trying to make IIS SMTP do other things it doesn't do _at all_, even with third-party add-ons, was as hard as setting up sendmail? Well, that'd be quite an understatement, since not being able to perform a function _at all_ is way beyond difficult, no? And another reason that the comparison is irrelevant. This remains an amazing example of selling out the anti-spam community and somehow still getting kudos. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
