I think it’s more likely that email is one of the biggest vectors of spam and malware and it’s unmaintained MTAs that end up being used to generate a lot of bogus email. On top of that, a lot of ISPs are blocking outbound port 25 so MTAs in a default configuration can’t deliver mail off the host anymore anyway. -- Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
