On 2005-03-20, Warren Block scribbled these
curious markings:

> while still allowing mail coming from Comcast's mail servers.

Which is completely and totally unfair to those of us who *can* control
our networks and who are more than likely being blamed for things that
we aren't even doing (i.e. machines not on Comcast's network forging
headers). DNS blacklisting is one of the most unfair methods of stopping
spam. It's a real pain in the neck for me to edit my Postfix
configuration every time some pissy netadmin decides to blacklist a
whole netblock because of one or two (ignorant) miscreants.

Best Regards,
