I believe that it is inappropriate to use such an email system that does this when sending messages to the BTS.
Also anyone who wants to use such a system when posting to a popular mailing list (such as debian-devel) should first put in place a white-list of people who regularly post to the list (such as me). For reference, I will not reply to such a message, but I will consider putting the entire domain in my spam filter if such messages continue. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Please confirm your message Date: 30 Nov 2002 15:45:19 -0000 From: "The qconfirm program" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, this is the qconfirm mail-handling program at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

The URL did not make this license adequately clear to me. Does this specifically differ from the license of Qmail? ------------------------------------------------------- -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
