Are the suggested changes (pervious thread on the subject) going to happen
in the documentation regarding the abusive nature of callouts and the
likelihood of getting blacklisted [1] if they are used ? It was mentioned a
few months ago, but I can't see where it has been added in yet.

Many thanks

Phil

and Bellsouth
