I know that, but it does not (IMHO) justify the use of greylising for everybody by default. I prefer to receive spam (and I do a lot through my @debian.org address, despite the fact that it's quite recent) that is filtered by my personnal bogofilter quite well (even if not 100% accurate) than to have some QOS alteration. moreover, I believe there is better ways to use greylising, like I already explained in the thread 2 or 3 times already. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
