I have a comment: NO WAY IN HELL. The day that we start rejecting DUL
posts is the day that several people leave the project, me included. How
many ISPs these days route mail worth a damn?
The RBL is a reasonable list and is a last resort anyway. RSS is a
concern, but I would accept it if the majority of people felt it was
necessary. The DUL is just going to hurt Debian.
I'm still on at least one mailing list that I _CANNOT_ even unsub from
because mail is filtered before it ever gets to the requester. Needless
to say, I have considered taking drastic action regarding this stupidity.
For the record, I'm talking about the GGI Project's ggi-develop list,
which I used to follow.
