Re: recent spam to this list

I have mail-followup-set for a reason. In addition, it is normal
policy on Debian lists not to Cc people unless explicitly requested.

You are wrong.
| First hint: envelope from vs "^From: "
I don't want my bounces to go to the wrong place. I don't have root
at all the places I send mail from, nor do I trust all those who have
root there. So, I don't want my mail bounced to the wrong place.
| Second hint: If you insist on your right to forge your email address,
| anyone else can forge your address as well. Is that a right you really
| need?
Uhm, how would you forge your own mail address? It's like forging
your own signature, something which is, by definition not possible:
4. To make falsely; to produce, as that which is untrue or
not genuine; to fabricate; to counterfeit, as, a
signature, or a signed document.
[1913 Webster]
| Third hint: You can still choose to allow any IP send emails in your
| domains name. Just do not add the records in dns, and everything will
| stay as it is currently.
No, I can't. I don't control the DNS of my University, a few of my
ISPs and so on. Nor do I control Debian's DNS.
| The antipathy against the a POSSIBILITY of a domain owner to restrict
| sending mail in name of his own domain to few IP's is what is silly,
| not the proposal...
It's the wrong solution.
