I argue that callouts are worse, since (given the existence of measures such as BATV) the load on the recipient is the same, while callouts are perceived as beneficial to the site that is making them, so there's a perceived _incentive_ for them to become more widespread (whereas bouncing spam benefits nobody). (I say "perceived" because I am skeptical about the proportion of spam that actually fails callout verification.) -- Andrew, Supernews http://www.supernews.com -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
