One of the methods for doing this is to refuse mail from hosts that are misconfigured or rely on misconfigured dns servers. You have the option of switching from comcast@home do some other provider. those other providers may have characteristics that you find undesireable. nonetheless you have a choice. perhaps not the one that you would prefer. i, personally, would prefer having to choose between certain 35 foot sailboats, but dont have that choice at this time. such is life ;( ;) jmb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
