(sorry for abusing the list, but due to the very nature of the problem I currently cannot
contact Mr. Mouse directly and his directions for this case explicitly call for me to
"contact [him] through
some other channel".)
Hello Mouse,
when trying to contact you about the Sun-3/4 stuff you were offering FTGH, I got back the
following:
"mouse at rodents-montreal.org":
SMTP error from remote server in greeting:
host:
MX-4.rodents-montreal.org:
This relaying host's domain is blocked for spamming me. See
ftp.rodents-montreal.org:/mouse/misc/one-strike.txt for more.
Unless you're keeping some sort of whitelist for addresses on otherwise blacklisted
servers (but if you did so, I'd think you'd be mentioning that and a way to get on
there in the document you're referring to), your approach strikes me as a bit over the
top. After all you're blocking accounts (and the people behind them) that never were
responsible for any spam you may have got, without even giving a procedure to get through
that ban (like including some keyword or a random one-time key in the Subject line). I
will be off the 'net until the beginning of next week, but I hope we can work out a
solution to that afterwards.
So long,
Arno
