Amen.

Per some of Glenn's later posts...........anyone remember when open
relay was the norm for MTA's {and SPAM was a in a tin}?  I inherited one
(Netscape messenger 3.<something>) about 8 years ago.

A regional Linux guru introduced me to PF (and eventually MS later on)
about 4 years ago.  At that time invoking PF *restrictions* meant that
most MTA's in the region were not able to get through to here.

Fortunately this has changed in what's known as PIC's (Pacific Island
Countries).

List, keep up the good work please and excuse my occassional OT comments.
