Yes, it's an effective tool. Large providers have large duties to control spam. Blocking the provider can give them an incentive to be responsible. In the meantime, I don't feel like trying to clean up Yahoo's problem. Those who wish to send email from Yahoo can decide whether they're happy with the situation or want to move to some other provider that isn't widely rejected. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
