Yes, but I'm not the one who is sending the mail to sourceforge, suselist does that. Imagine every mailserver is going to do this and there are a 1000 subscribers to a list, then if you sent a message to the list you immediatly get 1000 connections to your mailserver, I don't think thats how it's supposed to work. So either the check is broken or my assumption is wrong.
maybe someone is compiling a list of RFC822 compliant mailservers ? <OT> I've been wondering of late if the internet isn't working the wrong way around, maybe ordb.org should rather have a list of servers that one can safely accept mail from instead of blocking ip's that keep changing anyway ? (this will give people who wish to receive mail from compliant and non relay mail servers the option of doing so, or not...) currently we are chasing our own tails with open-relay and other checks, and there just are so many non rfc compliant mail servers out there... just a thought </OT> andre
