>Now if only they would do the same for SPAM.
If MSN and Hotmail would raise the requirements (correct, complete, "best practice/RFC" SMTP/DNS settings) for all mail servers sending to MS's MXs, it would cost them nothing, have IMMEDIATE effect, and we could all jump on that bandwagon and make a huge dent in mail abuse, and in "legit" servers that are badly setup. AOL can reject servers with no PTR, then why don't we all do it? Anti-spam "solutions" that accept all mail from everywhere and then flatter themselves with how clever their "solution" is in discriminating between badly configured "legit" mail servers and badly configured spammer IPs are really part of the problem, not part of a solution. These "solutions" give the badly configured legit servers a pass, allowing them to continue their stupidity, and making it tougher for the rest of us. Len
