What you said in that reply was "I disabled all the backscatter aliases 4 years ago, and haven't heard a single complaint." You also acknowledged in a subsequent post that "obviously you also have to patch the headers added to list e-mail to not reference these names" This is to me at least, not the same thing as saying you have actual patches. Close perhaps, but not the same. >The patches I did were brute-force patches for 2.1.4 or maybe even >earlier. Any competent programmer could do the same patches in about 15 >minutes. Maybe so, and maybe even I could, but even a checklist such as the following, presumably tested, list is of interest. >* Create only a single alias per list (remove 11-12 lines from the output) > >* Change the default to D_DISCARD in two places > >* Remove the option to reject message (leave accept/discard) in moderation > >* Change the headers to give only http addresses for subscribe/unsubscribe. > >I kid you not, it's less text than this message.
