Exactly my point--a mail server is local software.
Just another good example of why writing software and controlling it's
use should be left to professional commercial entities who know what
they are doing. We definately should leave compilers and scripting
languages out of the hands of end-users; think of the havoc they could
cause, flooding mail servers, writing DDoS attacks, etc! Which is why
my proposal specifically called for not allowing users to own or use
their own machines. In fact, attempting to subvert this should be
punishable by death.

I totally agree. Which is why I'm all for only allowing arbitrary
entities to determine who can and can not run a mail server. What we
need is more control, more censorship, more penalties, and less
interference from subvertive terrorists who try to route their mail
around the system. The only reason they have to be doing something like
this would be if they had something to hide. I believe that their
computers should be confiscated and their citizenship revoked.

All of his messages were sent through his company's "smart" host, but we
still got them here. Surely this software configuration error
("procmail") could have been prevented if we didn't give this fellow
access to local software. I'm also guessing that he pre-meditated the
whole thing at his home, safely cached behind his subvertive dynamic IP
(I think it's a given that said IPs are only used by "lower-class"
people, who we all know aren't worth anything and have no rights). I
call for a lynching.

I got what you meant the first time! Can't you see? I agree with you!
Oh yes, and blacks to the back of the bus, please; just be happy we let
you on at all.
