ilia,

out of curiosity, what are the arguments against the idea and the
implementation respectively? you seem to be with a hosting company - how do
you handle the situation i described? not trying to be defensive, i am
genuinely interested in everyone's thoughts on this.

my thoughts on this are: *if* we agree that at least in certain situations
being able to track the source of abuse is a Good Idea, then we agree that
having a feature (for lack of a better word) that provides a way to identify
the source is a Good Idea as well. it need not be enabled by default, mind
you. however, i would venture a guess that sysadmins running *amp boxes with
untrusted users (a large portion of *amp boxes) would find this useful. if
there is something wrong with the way i've done it, which is entirely and
even likely possible, then there is a good chance that there is also a
better way of doing it. the worth of the idea and the implementation are
obviously decoupled and i am open to education through cluebat as it may
pertain to reworking the patch to be correct, as opposed to just working.

thoughts?

paul
