AOL famously uses the second received header to filter mail from providers that are too large to block but too lazy or incompetent to do proper outbound filtering on their users' mail. A few years ago, there was a largish cable ISP* that was gushing spam from customers through their MTAs and ignored the complaints. I forgt whether it was bots, or just customers using desktop spam blasters. So AOL started 4xx soft failing mail that originated at the naughty customers, and the ISP's mail servers predictably melted down. That finally got their attention and the situation soon improved for everyone, not just AOL. R's, John * - I know who it was but since they've mended their ways there's no need to embarass them here. _______________________________________________ Shutup mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/shutup
