But the majority of technical lists don't do this (qmail,mysql,bincimap,samba etc....) on purpose. Here's the link (http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html) that get's posted on the qmail list everytime someone asks for this to be turned on. Personally I could care less but many people on technical lists seem to have a bird whenever this topic comes up.
