This is amazing how you argue this point to the grave - yet don't even use
the bat? How come I wonder? Who are you exactly? What would be your true
motivation. Mr SPAM hater? I dont think so there are plenty of other
resources than you surely. Personally I don't like spam either. But, until
every admin puts forth and actively participates in a security program this
is not a reality. I see you have a nice website about Math. If your into
math, why you so interested in thebat I wonder? I see you into nearly every
single message. Are you co-author of thebat? Have you purchased a copy? I
mean really man. Why? I really need to know. Just paraphrase why your so
interested in EVERY aspect of it, I'll shut up.
<Sorry, Back to the war-story here>
I would like to have multi-SMTP servers. And maybe I did BUY thebat? So now
actually your vote has been canceled by my opposition to yours. Why would I
wish to use Mercury after I paid 40 bucks for thebat? heh heh really.
I don't see the reasoning. If this were the case I would use a PM + mercury
setup and press on with life.
You come here and say, "you shouldn't do that."
where do you get off?
If the admin cares about the server logs, if they really
cared about an "open server" exploit, they would patch it, install sendmail
or something. who cares about a blacklist. That isn't the point either. It
sounds like you don't want free speech, privacy etc. That's the message I
get daily from your suggestions. Maybe someone wants that OPEN server to
send anonymail legit. With your logic that can't happen.
The bat is a non-problem, the OPEN SERVER IS!!! (if the admin considers
that a problem)
Yeah, I would LOVE to see multi SMPT's.
I respect your right to disagree.
=== Quoted for no reason I guess. Well maybe.. ===
Because there is no sense in doing so; because it means that the server logs
will get overfilled with "connection unsuccessful" entries -- and your
postmaster won't be grateful to you for all that crap _you_ generated; because
it means that The Bat! will eventually become the *favourite* tool of
_spammers_, which is the worst advertisement one can only think of; finally
because the fact that your open relay SMTP server, provided that it's not
blacklisted yet, will _get_blacklisted_ in a short time, and you'll loss this
functionality anyhow. Enough?
If that's not enough, I'll pretend to be Steve Lamb and say "Do Not Do It! It's
against the way it is _supposed_ to work!"
There exist tools that *do it in the _right_ way*! Goto www.let.rug.nl/pegasus.
Download Mercury/32 (it's free). Install and setup it the way _you_ wish. Set
TB up to use Mercury as your SMTP server. That's _all_. What can be more
simple?
And let's finally put the end to this thread here. Just remember: the feature
you wish to get is _WRONG_. Do Not Do It!
SY, Alex
=== ENd Quoted For No ReaZon ---!
DO it Do it add the SMTP!
