If this has been asked and answered in recent months, please point me
to the archives, or if someone knows of some addresses that will help me
collect information, please let me know.
I need to get a sense of what other sites are doing, particularly .ac.uk
sites, but any site for which email is "mission critical".
I will summarize answers to the list(s). Please don't send your responses
to the list(s).
This is obviously not a systematic survay. Answer as many or few of the
quesitons as you want to.
The principle question I am after is (1):
(1) Does your site currently block mail from hosts which don't
successfully reverse lookup? That is, if you can't get a name
out of an IP address, is mail from that site generally rejected.
(2) Do you use RBL blocking? (this is moot for JANET sites)
(3) Do you maintain your own list of sites to block?
(4) If you have a published/public policy statement on such matters
what is the address.
(5) Brief description of your site.
(6) May I include the information you provide in a summary
document to the lists that I am sending this to?
(7) Any comments on your experiences or reasons for going with or
not going with such a policy.
