Folks .... By definition, most of those who come here are seeking help for 'less than optimum' MTA setups. IOW - many have problems - often serious ones. And their arriving traffic is likely to *be* a bit broken. So if this list errs to the side of 'generous in what we accept' - we are more likley to be able to see those cries for assistance, provide help...and reduce the number of MTA installations that never do improve. Which would - unrepaired - add to the misery of the whole community. And tarnish the reputation of a damned fine NTA. So no - the list should not set any barriers to entry beyond the essential ones to prevent outright spam or abuse. And even that takes a good deal of dedicated manual intervention - for which I'm surely not alone in being damned grateful to have the benefit of.
