As a subscriber to a Linux list, I expect you like open source software
and the freedom it gives you. You like to take responsibilty for your
own actions. Then why do you censor other peoples email? That's what
blocking amounts to. Do you post those blocked addresses so people
will know what you're doing or is this closed source... done without
their knowledge? Any postmaster who blocks email should say up front:
WE CENSOR YOUR EMAIL
and list those domains that are blocked so their users can decide if
that is what they want. I personally don't want anyone deciding what
makes it to my mailbox! I'll take that responsibilty thank you very
much.
I don't have an answer to spam, but punishing the inocent to control the
guilty is certainly not the way to do it.
