No doubt there are some that do; but it's a very different technical hurdle and the management tradeoff (and intrinsic delay) of an email loop makes huge volume fire-and-forget impossible and rate limits the amount of spamming that can sucessfuly be done - especially if duplicate email addresses are further limited. I'm not saying this is a good solution in general - or that it's a panacea - but it's worth investigating. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
