Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
I am sending this here because according to mail-abuse.org I and the whole
dynamic dns users are spammers just because we are using dynamic ip's.
I want all the debian mail relay's administrators be very aware about
this.
They want to block the whole IP's which are dynamic so they can not send
mail anymore so every guy in the internet will have to depend upon
a third-party mail relay to send mail.. whats the next?
mail-abuse.org is doing something like "lets put into jail every people who
are living in a city where a crime has been commited"... this reminds me those
times in France when nazis killed 100 inocent persons for each nazi killed.
In fact my last IP was to a blacklist.. blacklist!! are we becaming
insane?
whats the next? whats the next brilliant idea to ruin other valuable
services like those you can achieve using ddt or dhis? maybe the next
recommendation from mail-abuse.org will be something like:
"please send your mail using only secure-relay.echelon.gov"
Please all of you who are administrating mail relays take this into
account when using the services from mail-abuse.org. Not everybody who
sends mail using dynamic ip's are spammers just dynamic dns users, and
to give the power to mail-abuse.org to decide who can send mail and who
cant into your system maybe it is to give them too much power.. maybe
that should be **your power** and **not** their power..
Who is abusing more the mail now? spammers or mail-abuse.org?
