On 11:53am, quoth Dirk Dettmering: =>Every ISP should provide a SMTP Relay for its customers. period. Every =>Customer should use that SMTP Relay. period. Using RBLs to reject =>mails from dialup ip addresses is a good practice, well done and =>should be done as often as possible. period. => =>The cyber world doesn't consists of just idealists anymore. There are =>to many bad guys out there in the wild (and bad girls as well of =>course! *g*) doing bad things and therefor something has to be done. =>Using DUL RBLs can help a lot and in fact they have cut down the spam =>on my mail servers bye a huge amount. The best thing of RBLs is that =>they allow you to reject the mail before it is completely delivered =>which helps avoiding traffic and also give the spammers the feed back =>they deserve. Man, do I ever disagree with you on this. Besides the fact that I really hate absolute statements, I can go along with windoze people being required to use their ISP's but I use my sendmail server expressly so that this problem does not come up. I run a carefully selected set of RBLs and I also run SpamAssassin. My address is not on a modem; it's on a cable modem. It remains up 24/7 and the address is valid for about a year. You want to RBL modem addresses that's fine with me, but blocking cable modem addresses is just wrong. Can this please be fixed? -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
