We have recently made changes to our mail servers here
that may possibly
affect some list users. In our ongoing effort to limit SPAM, our mail
servers were recently configured to utilitize the MAPS RBL, DUL, and RSS
databases (see www.mail-abuse.org for details).
[...] (ie. they are "open relays"). [...]
[...] We really really really dislike spam, and feel that this action is
wholly appropriate.
First of all, I realy apreciate your efforts to reduce SPAM,
and I feel that choosing your system was a real good isea.
Just, I have a bad feeling about droping esential parts of
free networking - the shareing of resources. Only because
some Jerks missuse them. It's like puting an expiration
date on the driver licence and ask for renewal just because
some guys like to drive slow on the left lane. Or to ban
free speech just because some idiots don't know eht hey say ?
Hmm I guess I have a hard time to tell my view in English.
I just feel bad about the very basic idea.
Gruss
