I consider this being purely a connectivity thing. T-Online customers can send mail to any mailserver and they aren't aware of the fact that they can't get a reply because T-Online has a "default block" policy, unless whitelisted. They are harming connectivity in a way that is invisible to their users, doing in fact misservice to those users. The proposed configuration change only makes this visible and clear, introducing also default blocking in the reverse direction (unless whitelisted, which you can always do). I think that a block you know about is "better" than a block you don't know about. T-Online customers trying to send mail to other mailservers will hit that block, and if the reject message will exactly specify the reason - something like "We block mail from T-Online because they block mail from us" - and the customer forwards this message to T-Online support, I assume they'll at least have to explain the situation to the (probably angry) customer. Maybe over time their will consider changing their "default block" approach. -- 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://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
