Ya know, I get ripped here at times for not doing the
mailback-validate on every piece of email in the universe -- but on
*my* systems, there's always a human being available to resolve
problems that come up.
where's the moral high ground here? If my system screws up (and what
system is perfect), there's a body there to fix it. And the impact of
my system screwing up is a lot less than the RBL's.
and, FWIW, my mailbox gets spammed, too. That's part of doing
business -- and the accessibility to solve problems that were created
via my site far outweighs the inconvenience of dealing with the spam
that mailbox generates.
IMHO, you can't have it both ways. If you are going to impact other
people, you need to be accessible to resolve problems. I do. why
doesn't RBL?
