It's a basic mistake to operate on whole netblocks and not individual senders. It's like you would ban all citizens of a particular country X from coming to another country Y, because a lot of people from country X are terrorists. Well, that doesn't mean *everybody* from country X is a terrorist and that doesn't mean you shouldn't let that person in just because he *may* be a terrorist. > >>Well, Gmail is basically "free stuff" as well.

If you looked at my particluar server, and not at a whole netblock, you would see that the ratio is more than just "acceptable" in my case. The whole mistake you are all making is looking at whole netblocks instead of individual IPs. It is so called "collective responsibility", where you hold one member of a group (btw. a group *artificially created* by you, as I have nothing common with other OVH customers and I'm in no way connected with them, similarly as probable most other their customers) responsible for what other members of the group do. Almost everyone, in other areas than Internet, agrees that collective responsibility is a bad idea. It's a bad idea here too. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
