Please, folks, Yes, doing this hoses people. Yes, not doing this hoses people. It's an ugly choice for the FreeBSD postmasters; they have no right solution, but can merely choose the manner in which they want to be abused. "Death by drowning or death by burning? Gee, let me think..." In this case, it's more correct to force users to find a reliable email provider than to have tons of spam flowing down *@freebsd.org. There is no good answer at the freebsd.org level; junk email is a pervasive, Internet-wide problem. This comes up every few months; can we please cut this argument off at the knees before it turns into yet another endless blather that results in nothing changing? I'm sure if anyone has a working, practical solution for this problem, the IETF and any number of email software maintainers would love to hear from you. ==ml > > It appears that someone simply doesn't > >know how to configure DNS properly and freebsd.org is hardly the > only > >site which will reject mail from them on that basis; it's a very > >common spam-prevention technique. > > Some of us have no choice, I am using comcast@home cable service and > my email to the lists bounce back to me on a regular basis. > > David DeTinne > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
