Hello Marck D. Pearlstone,
On Sat, 20 Jan 2001 at 11:37:31 GMT +0000(which was 1/21/2001 6:37 PM
where you think I live) you told to the list :
[ ... ]
MDP> I believe that Lija's point is that these headers are somewhat
MDP> verbose, redundant and represent a theft of bandwidth, whether
MDP> they are visible or not. And, do you know, I actually agree with
MDP> (him?).
BC>> I suspect Marck will be shooting this horse very soon.
MDP> I am shooting the horse indeed, but only on TBUDL and not before

MDP> the removal of these headers with Syafril as soon as he emerges.
MDP> Their purpose is moot since TB doesn't support these list traffic
MDP> headers.
I just on-line (sorry in normal I was not on-line on Saturday/Sunday
unless my pager beep due Server problem or Marck Wake Up me).
Some part of the header for MTA Recipient purpose (especially for
Postmaster) and me as List Manager just in case the delivering of the
messages failed. When the message from the listserver distribute to
final recipient, not always going stright to final MTA, sometimes goes
first to Relayer (for example bigfoot account do like this).
Some MTA tend to truncated the message content while the message
header keep intact for further analysis or tracing who responsible
when Delivery of message failed and to whom address the mail to fix
the problem, if not they will treat the message came from the spammer
(UCE) and make blocking (from ListServer POV, blocking is waste the
bandwith resources :-().
Other part of headers is for our (ListServer) purpose.
I can truncate some headers, such as Original Sender Route to this
listserver such EZMLM ListServer did, but the weakness of this
approach, if there is problem on message Delivery or others (such as
Message Duplicating by Open Relay MTA etc), I the only one can find
out the real problem (by reading ListServer logs), it's very hurt due
the logs size sometimes more than 200 MB size/day and I am not always
online. With current conditions, all list member can help me or Marck
to find out what's the real problem.
MDP> Having said that, they are part of a standard. I'm not sure if
MDP> it's RFC - anyone know? If so, please reply on TBTECH only.
RFC-2369, we discussed this long time ago on TBBETA list.
Unfortunately our TB not supported this RFC yet, so TB can't utilize
those kind of header (Pegasus is one of the mailer that support
RFC-2369, if member of this list using Pegasus 3.x, he/she knows what
I meant).
