Re: legit mail being blocked because of relay methods

[Michael T. Babcock]

Exactly -- what if the 'relay server' accepted messages for delivery, and
then delivery failed.  It would notify the mailing list server that those
messages failed (if you're lucky).  Wouldn't one rather have one's own
mailing list server handle this work?

Definately sounds like a spammer's dream ;-)
