RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Should postmaster or abuse accept all e-mail?

Title: Message

I think that misses the point of this thread: If I'm bouncing [or rejecting outright] mail from a host or domain, then they have no appeal recourse unless I can open up a safe channel for _SOME_ mail to flow through.   On the other hand, I have abuse@mydomains and postmaster@mydomains both whitelisted and all I get are SPAM solicitations from hosting providers I wouldn't leave Michael Jackson's kids with, much less my domains.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 27 November 2002 3:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Should postmaster or abuse accept all e-mail?     It has been my findings that most spam that really needs to be deleted comes from servers that have neither a postmaster@ or abuse@. Personally, I feel its a waste of resources to try and bounce it back to those addresses. If they have no A / MX record and are on a blacklists, they need to be completely ignored :).

Marc,   We actually whitelist the following addresses   WHITELIST TO postmaster@ WHITELIST TO abuse@   For the mentioned reasons below.   Darrell   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Marc Catuogno Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 3:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Should postmaster or abuse accept all e-mail?   I've been using the delete action on a blacklist test for Junkmail.  I also have a few ip ranges blocked.  I was thinking that if anyone with any brains figured out that they were blocked that maybe they would e-mail postmaster or abuse.  Should I have a separate junkmail file for one or both of these address that allows all mail through? This way there is an appeal process.  Is there an RFC for this?   Thanks - Marc
