I would like to make the point that I do run two mail servers and both a maps approved. Please don't tell me I don't know how to run a mail server. Again I am not discussing your ability , please don't poke fun at me. In fact I had some trouble with spam on one of them because someone was signing up a list I use for the owl networks mailing list. I infact installed MAPS to see if it helped the problem. It did not because the user didn't run an open relay site but rather a no confirmation email list. Would I be correct to assume they should be in the MAPS list too? As you can see sometime spam/annoying emails is not always sent throught an open relay but sometimes it's a problem with mailing lists..... What should maps do, start adding sites that act like this? I am just making the point that if MAPS wasn't run by one person with total control maybe some of us "retards who don't know what we are doing" would be a bit more will to support the effort.
