I don't have a problem with people using RFCI, however they do need to realize the implications of doing so. RFCI has a *VERY* high rate of nonspam hits, because they, correctly, list many major ISPs. If you are sensitive to loosing mail, you should not use it as a SMTP layer reject, and score it very low, if at all, in a SA config. If you're fine with the implications, by all means use it. But do so knowing what it means. I was concerned about Matus, as he was complaining about a rare false positive from malformed HELOs causing loss of email. If he's concerned about such things, he should definitely NOT be using RFCI. If he's fine with loosing mail that's malformed or from badly managed domains, then the HELO bit should be acceptable to him as well. Matus is also free to do whatever he wants on his own servers. I do not particularly care if he will or will not accept email from verizon or other RFCI listed domains. That said, personally, I will not provide assistance to anyone I can't email directly for off-list issues. Hence my post withdrawing myself from offering support. If Matus doesn't want email from RFCI domains, that's fine. However, to me this also means he does not want assistance from anyone subscribed to those domains. Since I am a verzion subscriber out of necessity, I'm simply following that. Nothing more. There's plenty of other members of the SA team who may choose to help on this issue, I've just withdrawn myself. > please dont CC me, i read the maillist every day anyway > OK, I'll send you 50 copies as To instead of CC.... :-) (Kidding!!)
