I think you're misunderstanding the issue. He has a problem with rfc-ignorant being strict in their interpretation of the RFC requirements. It's not mail to *his* postmaster/abuse aliases that's the problem. My comment: if you don't want to be strict in *your* interpretation of the RFCs then disable the RFCI rules by setting their scores to zero. And if you think they aren't justified in specific cases (e.g. Yahoo) then write a rule for Yahoo messages that offsets the RFCI score. But if the stated purpose of the BL is "this domain does not have a working postmaster address" then it's unreasonable to ask them to exclude a domain that does not have a working postmaster address, no matter how large or popular that domain is. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ ICQ#15735746 http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 - 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Men by their constitutions are naturally divided in to two parties: 1.
