Certainly this is the only mailing list I've encountered to-date with such a restriction, and I participate in several. And while I totally get this for dial-up, my DSL has a static IP - I've had this number longer than many companies in this post-dot-bomb world.
Indeed I can use my ISP as a smarthost, and in fact am currently doing so out of necessity. It just bothers me. Privacy is not enhanced by having my mail sitting on servers neither I nor the recipient control, and while I don't want any particular privacy for messages to this list, sending all my mail through the smarthost seems wrong. Per-destination smarthost? Blech. :) I apologise if I sound grumpy about this issue, and do thank you for the response. glen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
