No, but if you can find 9 more like you, it would. We heard from one current Navy personnel, according to Jo Rhett that's a cool $25,000. Hey, that could probably buy a month of Barry's time ... can you imagine what we could do with a month of Barry's undivided attention?<wink> Or how about a month of Mark's time (problem with Mark is I don't know if his boss is as sympathetic as Barry's boss is likely to be ...)? > > I ask, where are these requirements written? > > You mean the requirement that the mail system be able to reject email from > non-members at SMTP time? I mean the document that says that backscatter is a mortal sin, not the document that says various people hold the personal opinion that it would be nice if Mailman would to stop all backscatter. > If you read the thread carefully, you'll find that my position is that this > feature is a requirement, but not for 2.1, and maybe not even for 2.2.

Jo Rhett lacks that kind of patience, and more important, claims to be one of "dozens" similarly impatient I really think this should happen for 2.2, though, and that 2.2 (or something) should happen quite soon. I plan to fix up my secondary MX situation shortly, but not everybody in my situation can do that. > [This stuff isn't written anywhere more reliable than Wikipedia, > and that is] why I post to the list.
