For example, let us suppose that somebody read freebsd-security list both at home and at work but his or her corporate's security policies allow sending e-mails from within only via corporate mail server and disallows sending e-mail from non-local IPs. So, if this plan turns into reality, this subscriber will be forced subscribe 2 times. Idea to check existense of 'reply-to' address is not so good, too. Everybody can set this to one of valid e-mail addresses (billgates@microsoft.com :)), and this address will differ from sender's one. So, in my opinion, much better looks idea to keep blacklist of spammers IPs on, say, mx1.FreeBSD.org, and reject ALL letters from these IPs. If spammer builds his rotten business on pestering people, it has no right ask this people for a help:) -- Best regards, jcukeng To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
