But, I repeat, the proposal (for now) is to tag messages using a X-RBL-Warning: header, I don't understand all the fuss about this.The objection, on my part, is to yor initial statement (that you are now back pedaling from) that this was the first step to instituting a RBL based filtering. And if that is not the goal, why are we engaging in this exercise?
The proposal must stand (or fall) on its merits. The proposal is to add headers warning about RBL's. That helps people filter their mails, and has few downsides (DNS query load, minor use of debian-admin's time, etc.)
