Or generating mailing lists to spam to.

Personally I don't allow finger, EXPN or VFRY on my servers - yes
some usernames chan be found out by other means but that doesn't mean I
want people to be able to find out others for security and other reasons.

This thread is very much personal opinion, however, and not really
on topic, since exim allows us to do either.
