ROFLMAO!

The very same folks who listed the entire '.de' <tld> for two years 'coz 
*they* (the rfc-ignorami, not the Deutsche) didn't know how to make a 
proper 'whois' query?

And - last time I looked, *still* list other entire <.tld>s?

That crowd could better change their <domain>.<tld> to

'generally-ignorant.org'

..for all they know about RFC's, use of 'whois', or the ability to read 
and understand any of the more common Western European languages.

Not even a bad joke.

No one with potential correspondents in the 'wide world' leaves that 
spamcheck ruleset active. Nor cooperates with their misguided mis-direction.

That said, it is relatively trivial to set Exim to accept 'proper' 
traffic for postmaster@, webmaster@, abuse@, hostmaster@,  w/o also 
taking spam on-board.

And we should do.

There ARE still helpful folks out there from whom a 'heads up' benefits 
all hands.
