I just took a look at the Wikipedia entry for 'greylisting'. It sounds
awful if you're victimized by it. My personal mail from openmailbox to a
friend was rejected by yahoo b/c of shit like that and I didn't get a
notifcation for three fucking days.

Have you ever noted how many good domains are black-holed b/c some
asshole fascist relay operator in the midwest says so. How you never get
a response to a request to remove you from thise lists., How a 'spammer'
could intentionally create a situation that blackholes or graylists a
domain?

Just sayin'. If it wasn't broke don't 'fix' it..
