Not even; there are some cases in which solicitedness can be implicit. For example, mail to postmaster@ about some externally visible mail-system problem directly related to the domain or host to which the postmaster mail was directed counts as solicited to me. Similar remarks, mutatis mutandis, apply to other standard role local-parts, such as abuse@ and webmas...@. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
