None of this is REQUIRED. It is forced on people by a cartel of email providers.It must be nice to live in world where there is so little spam and other mail abuse that you don't have to do any of the anti-abuse things that real providers in the real world have to do.
What is a real provider? And what in the email specifications tells us that the email needs and solutions of any one individual, as long as they are following protocol (which I'm quite convinced Mark is) are "unreal"? There are scalability issues that single out the mega-class providers as something special. But those are no reason to go around debating the realness of other email handling organisations. Also, the accept/reject policies of email recipients are subject to individual evaluation and implementation at each MX host. Attempts at describing the state of email as other than that are false and should be discarded[0]. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 Content: 80% POLYESTER, 20% DACRONi ...
