Ken Landaiche:
I've been vaguely following the thread, which seems to be attempting to close a loophole in port 25. Assuming you succeeded, wouldn't a clever demon hacker simply find another way to forge messages?
Probably. The only thing this would do is make forging a mail message a non-trivial operation. It in no way makes forging an email message impossible, it just makes it a little bit harder than telneting to the smtp port.
This leads me to believe that eventually we will have to begin acting on our honor, and provide severe consequences for dishonorable behavior.
Like what? When identity is "weak" then honor has no meaning... jim
