Re: Sheesh... Errr... no. When I do an RBL lookup during the envelope part of an SMTP transmission, the server decides whether or not to accept the rest of the transmission. When the inbound connection is coming from the inbound host, it never gets as far as the DATA portion of the message (where most of the volume of the traffic will be) before its hit with a 55x error.
I'm being a bit nit-picky here -- sure, I think the net would be better without all the spam. But it ain't as bad as it's made out to be... |

And the teens at your school probably do so, on a regular basis! 
Teens are a lot smarter then your average adult when it comes to computers. That's BS that "teenagers" don't know shit about computers. Example that burns my ass: A 10 year old can't fix a computer because he is 10..... Get real, if a 10 year old has interest in computers he can probably build one.. I know I did when I was 10, all by myself with no help.....

I think there's a common misconception, one that I previously shared, that mail travels in a haphazard fashion across multiple servers on its way to you, stealing bits of different sites' resources along the way.
But it doesn't.
In most cases mail travels directly from the sender's SMTP server(s) to the recipient's mail servers -- the sending server does a DNS query, finds the responsible mail server, and sends mail to it!
Sure, there are frequently multiple servers WITHIN each of those two parties' sites, but unless a lot of autoforwarding is used, the "rest of the Internet community" stays largely UNAFFECTED by the transaction!
Which is a long way of saying that I think jester's right on this one.
