Confusion arises as to claimed expertise and experience with TMDA when ...

- The rather excellent wiki.tmda.net webpage was not directly consulted.

- Google '+Exim +TMDA' finds over 68,000 hits, of which:

-- The second side-head, first page, is the wiki.tmda.net website with Exim 4.X
specific code. Looks to be correct.

--- The immediate sub-heading also covers procmail & maildrop with Exim


By all means avoid the *fifth* side-head, because it is this crusty old bastard
himself giving a fairly balanced view, circa 2003, of the pros and cons of TMDA
after using it on QMail MTA in both Asia and Europe. No hard condmenation there.

The point, then and now - being that if you utilize other decent spam-reduction
techniques, TMDA was now going to be concentrated as a barrier to the
'survivors' - the very group that already have a higher probability of NOT being
spammers. IOW - your friends, business associates, potential customers.

'Diminishing returns' at best, 'concentrated intransigence' at worst.

Do whatever you see fit.

And no, *I* won't blacklist you.
