Hey! Don't tell me. Tell everybody else.
I only wandered in here after checking the list archives for this list
and seeing rather large/extensive thread being carried on here on this
very topic.
Anyway, I said all I had to say about the DSSL already. I'm done.

OK, so arrange to have your mail server siphon off everything that comes
in that matches against the DSSL for a week (or two). Then, at the end
of that time, go through and look at all of the messages that have been
caught in your net.
Other people who have done this already report that the ``catch'' appears
to be 100% USDA pure pork spam.

The MAPS people have a lot of money (and time, I gather) to deal with
crank lawsuits. We don't. Nor do we wish to have our personal mailboxes
invaded by these kooks. We have work to do.

And if *I* f**k up in a suitably serious fashion, you can and should drop
the DSSL.

Sorry. As pointed out earlier, I just dropped by because there seemed to
be a big thread on this topic in the exim-users list archive. If this is
an inappropriate things to discuss here, then why are so many other sub-
scribers doing it?
Anyway, like I say, I have said all I have to say about the DSSL.
