Hello accmailers ... Yahoo has been causing us problems for many months. Mail from www4mail at szs.net to Yahoo addresses is often rejected at the SMTP stage and bounced back to us, resulting in an unnecessary load on our server. Yahoo users sometimes submit repeated requests for large binary files, which are then all refused by Yahoo. We want this to stop.
Yahoo is web-based. Nobody who uses ACCMAIL methods is obliged to use Yahoo. So we have decided that we will no longer accept requests from Yahoo email addresses. Starting now, www4mail at szs.net will not respond to requests from Yahoo email addresses. There will be no answer at all. We have also decided, in principle, that we should not accept requests from any of the free web-based email services, especially as they are the main source of requests for web sites which contravene our usage policy. Right now, only Yahoo is excluded. The others will follow when we have worked out the best way to do it. However, we agree that the ACCMAIL community does have a legitimate need for a reliable free web-based email service. So we intend to make an exception for gmail.com and googlemail.com addresses, which have never caused us any problems. ::: SZS ::: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.
