Ha. At first I thought: damn, good argument.
But after thinking of it a bit, I think there is one slight difference
though: the use of Debian email servers does _not_ require the
acknowledgement of the DMUP (anybody can send a mail transitioning trough
Debian email servers, see e.g. the amounts of spam), where "being syndicated
on planet" does (it is not possible to send spam to the planet without first
getting the blog added to it by a DD), if I understand the issue correctly.
So I'd say that emails are not under the scope of the DMUP, hence cannot be
a violation of it. IMHO, huh…
