*shrug* I'm a business school professor, and do analysis like the analysis behind my statement above for a living. It's a fairly obvious extension of my posts on use of DMARC by financial institutions. And it helps explain why GMail seems to be actively dissenting, and Hotmail has not followed yet. Those email providers have a different approach to being portals, and use different trade names for their financial activites to the extent that I am aware of them. I'm not going to yield on it quite yet. So, call it "tin-foil hat territory" if you like. Being an expert on Internet business models doesn't make me *right*, but name-calling isn't going to bother me. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
