Something is putting a blank line in the headers for some mail coming
through the list. Besides this not bring correct to the SMTP specs
it's breaking filtering listmail for me. Guessing from the headers
it's being done while the dnsbl.sorbs.net warning headers are added.

Assuming this isn't just me, can it get fixed ?

Kevin,

Having done both at one time or another, I have to agree with
Edgar to a degree, other than the points #4-6 that Mark makes in his
email.

As long as it is properly configured ( and it is easy to misconfigure
with one mouse click) and behind a properly configured firewall. It
comes down to a personal choice I guess. I do my very best to stay a
way from exposing any MS system to the internet when every possible.
Not because of any known flaws that they have but because of the
unknown flaws! Ya just never know when that next MS code update
"security fix" is going to open another hole...
