On Wed, 4 Dec 2002 15:21:02 +0100 your time, you said: JP> I think it is a good time to remember everyone that eMail is a JP> *priviledge*, not a right. Mind you, there are still providers that do JP> not offer you a mailbox. Huh? What are you on about exactly? I don't know about others here, but I pay quite a bit of money each year for seperate hosting services, on top of the fee I pay to my ISP for an always on connection - and I only use my ISP as an Internet gateway; I don't use any ISP web or mail services. All my mail and web hosting services are paid for, by me, on a yearly basis, to an independant hosting company....and even then, the majority of my mail is managed by my local mail server, which I manage. Privilege? I don't think so! If you are aiming your comments above at users in your domain then I could understand the context. However, this is not the case. JP> Then, I'd like to point you to JP> <http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/policy-postmaster.php> Yup, already familiar with it :) JP> If you provide mail to your users, you have to keep your server running. JP> This means that you will look why a message to one of your users JP> bounced. On a fairly small scale operation I can see that as being true. On a large scale operation, I can't. JP> If you find out that in fact this user *faked* a bounce message with JP> your postmaster adress, you *will* let the user know that this was a JP> one-time experience for him. That's your *privilege* of course. However, I can't see everyone taking the same approach as you, unless of course there were compelling reasons to implement superstrict guidlines for a group of users. - -- Slán, Simon @ theycallmesimon.co.uk ****************************************** PGP Key: http://pgp.theycallmesimon.co.uk/ Faffing about with TB! v1.61 on W2K SP3 #2915.
