Is that really so? It seems to me that what we have here is not a bias against a technology per se, but rather a restriction on a particular type of account. This kind of account is often abused. Requiring the customer with that kind of account to pass e-mail through a certain type of gateway -- one which can detect or limit such abuse -- seems like a reasonable restriction. I was dubious; I waited more than a year after hearing about the DUL to implement it. But when I finally tried it, I found that it was highly effective; it targeted spam like a laser and rejected no legitimate traffic. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
