I strongly disagree with censoring Mails coming from hosts that _also_ host tor nodes. The host several DDs including me use (asteria.debian.or.at) is a tor (tough not exit) node hosting also a mixmaster anonymous remailer.
I feel offended and hurt that you want to censor me because I use a host where we provide a imo useful service for others (there are many valid reasons to use tor and mixmaster). Trolls like the ones posting to the lists should be treated like spam: ignored and best filtered by bogofilter and/or spamassassin et al. yours Martin -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---- Debian GNU/Linux - The Universal Operating System -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
