I had written....
Except for
someone trying to run a service out of their house. To do
so, is... well...
...yes? Is...unacceptable? Is...worth bouncing mail addressed to?
Feel free to drop me from the list if you really feel that I am sinning
that egregiously against the email system by running my own mailserver,
and running only the one. (I won't _like_ it, but it's your list.)
Not unacceptable. Unreliable. Trying to do it off a line with dynamic
address assignment - screwing up the interplay between DNS and sendmail,
fighting DSL bottlenecks at the DSLAM, etc. etc. Is simply not the best way
to run a mail server. I'm not saying people shouldn't do it actually. I'm
merely saying that when it's done under those conditions, it's hard to
complain about sporadic problems.The people who do it under those conditions
will have to accept that they will have problems, and it's certainly their
right to choose to do so.
And as per my previous email, no, not work bouncing mail addressed to.
