Hi Jethro,
I was always a fan of Gilmore Hill but I hear town centre Polys have
improved tremendously ;-)
Its simple. If someone wants to email us, we determine whether or not
they can use our email system. If they can't get through, then that's
their problem - not ours. They can try their luck with the sub-standard
UK postal service or send a fax. Our email system exists for our
benefit, not for the benefit of others wishing to communicate with us by
email.
Rather than be apologists for laziness, indifference or sloppiness of
others and therefore accept whatever crap they send us, we are fortunate
enough to run our systems our way.
If more adopted our stance spam would dramatically decline. The bland
willingness of sites to accept junk and dodgy emails perpetuates the
spam nuisance. Some sites have absolutely no problem having a HELO with
a matching DNS A record and including in their emails a Message-ID:
Date: To: From: and Subject: so why should we embrace sites that can't
be bothered? Surely standards should be raised, not lowered to
accommodate as much crap as possible ?
