You would be surprised at how many people complain about being booted off
a debian list because they've been bouncing spam back to the list handler.
And then they complain that the listmasters never got back to them. If
I send you an email and you bounce it back to me because it came from
a dynamic IP, that's your problem, not mine. I am not going to waste
my time trying to find a way to contact you, I have much more
interesting things to do with my time.
