Heh, sounds like a fairly recent debian-devel thread. Yep, that's what I think most should really do. Like me, for example: spunge.org provides me with shell access that also includes IMAP, and also full access to SMTP through SSH. It would be nice for me to set my exim4 to utilize that, but so far I haven't bothered to do it yet, partly because I lack the motivation to do so, and partly because I like to send my messages personally through direct SMTP. Although I hit on some snags such as XBL-RBL 'coz of my dynamic IP, it doesn't really bother me too much since most of my recipients have fairly liberal MTAs. And yes, I'm on a prepaid ipv4... > Well, I agree with you on that.

Yes, it is nice, but from what I glean from other mls discussing this, it seems that its too much of a bane rather than a boon, since it would definitely block legit email, and you can't blame users for that. Yes, please blame the fscking ISPs. Cheers, Zakame -- |=-------------ZAK B.
