Ahem.
Marc, your infrequent (and off-topic at that) post about adding your
tarpit MX for third-party domains is one thing. So far, it was a new
thread always, and well, the very same arguing against it started
immediately.
This response, however, is a totally different thing. In my not so
humble opinion, this is advertising -- almost cold-calling -- without
the *necessary* discussion of what this does, what it actually means and
the downsides implied.
Please do not do it this way.
