That analogy is flawed unfortunately. Exim is the rope, and the default configuration supplied is no worse than just another piece of rope. Quite obviously these admins have taken these two pieces of rope and made a noose with it. If they're going around hanging people, just don't go play with them - that's the fix. Many of us are well aware of your position on accepting email, so I highly doubt that blacklisting a few more "RFC ignorant" domains is against any policy you hold dear. As someone else similarily stated, my computer and OS allow me to delete itself from the system (at least key files/components) while it's running. It lets me install viruses, and even lets me compile viruses. Those are for sure things that we wouldn't want to happen - do you blame my Intel CPU chip, or my operating system for allowing such things?
