-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 2005-03-20, Warren Block scribbled these curious markings: > If you have your own mailserver, most of this can be rejected by using > greylisting or by rejecting mail from dynamic Comcast IP addresses, > while still allowing mail coming from Comcast's mail servers. Which is completely and totally unfair to those of us who *can* control our networks and who are more than likely being blamed for things that we aren't even doing (i.e. machines not on Comcast's network forging headers). DNS blacklisting is one of the most unfair methods of stopping spam. It's a real pain in the neck for me to edit my Postfix configuration every time some pissy netadmin decides to blacklist a whole netblock because of one or two (ignorant) miscreants.
