Message-ID: &lt;Pine.LNX.3.96.990130181926.2556B-100000(a)bony.umtec.com&gt; Approved: Why bother? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Just so everyone knows, the address SYSTEM(a)minako.umtec.com has been shut down. It appears the MX software I have has no spam-blocking abilities and always relays, and an upgrade to the version that does have these features costs $500, which I don't have. Software has been released which allows a spammer to sweep entire subnets for open relays, so ANY open relay is unsafe! I'm extremely unwilling to do anything that aids spammers (Like having an open relay) so the mailer daemon there was shut down, permanently. Mails to there will probably bounce. I haven't had an incident yet, but I'm not going to either.
