Re: Why not to use SPEWS

Short term, I would see if NAC can give you a non-corrupt IP address.
Actually, it would be easier to just relay the mail through a non-listed server. Postfix makes it easy to do this, and Kasia knows exactly where to find such a mail server.

But it's no surprise - in the big picture of all the wierd people in the world - that any random person runs a list that has bogus listing requirements. Hell, I could run a bogus list. Why not?

The surprise is that people subscribe to the list, and the way to counter SPEWS is to

1) publicize how dumb SPEWS is
2) expose those who use it

Then the free market of public opinion can take it from there.

Workarounds are not a solution.
SPEWS needs to be stopped.
