Misunderstanding why people bypass the RFC's can become a major
contributor to the spam problem. If we aren't on the same page,
what you do and what I do to address spam will be incompatible and
when these efforts fail, they discourage both of us from trying
to filter out spam at all. I run my own mail server and the
recommendation I have run into is to use the whois.rfc-ignorant
blacklist.
You are saying that making the source of email more identifiable
increases spam, am I correct?
