allow us to get onto blacklist? Although this goes far beoynd my original
problem (my own disc controller as a mailer would propably never try to
comply about me to my postmaster, who I also am...), is it possible my
server would actualy get blacklisted because of having over-strict
interpretation of rfc, which would simply deny loosely-formulated incoming
connections before sender even had a chance to tell he's going to mail to
postmaster?
