Personally I do not consider strict RFC interpretation to be worth more than the time it takes to sort through the garbage. All my mail is subjected to Zen and BRBL blockage (with DNSWL and SWL exceptions allowed.) Very little spam here since I decided to do that. (Most of what does get through is to the postmaster addresses, however.) postscreen/smtpd_reject_footer is a safety net. A real sender can view that and figure out alternate means of contact. That has not happened in the time since smtpd_reject_footer was implemented here. I'd much rather give someone a rejection, than accept their mail and miss it in a flood of spam. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
