[Lilux-help] SMTP

[Patrick Kaell]

What I forgot to add:

If Coditel would relay their customer's mail (maybe they even do it, 
haven't tested it), then the other ISPs soon would have to put Coditel's 
mail server to a Black List. At the moment they only have to do it for 
Coditel's dialup address range! If Coditel's mail server only sends 
Coditel addresses and my mail provider only sends my mails, it is enough 
to have a Black List blocking all dialup address ranges to protect 
against worms.

Now imagine servers like Coditel's mail server that are not on a Black 
List relay mails generated by their customer's worms! Coditel cannot 
check if the From: address is valid! Remember!

Yes, I do get emotional when somebody (who never has read a RFC document 
about SMTP) says I would not use my dialup account correctly!
