Benjamin Franklin The use of port 25 is not "essential" so long as a mail server is provided, nor is it "essential" to be able to receive e-mail sent directly from other ISPs' dial-ins. Freedom from spam brings INCREASED liberty, not less. It makes life more productive and pleasant, and assures that ISPs' resources aren't abused, which is a very good thing, IMHO. Your mileage may vary, of course. >Not to mention that they will become inoperational in the face >of IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration. What will you do then? I haven't looked into the issue of what IPv6 might mean to the DUL or RBL. However, I'm sure that Paul Vixie is. (I wouldn't mind learning more about the topic myself, as I certainly don't want to give up either facility when I move to IPv6.) --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
