1. MTA is unlikely to create a user-agent header (unless it's really broken). Stephen's comments seemed to be directed at MUA where the initial statement was about MTA. I, frankly, agree that no self-respecting network operator runs an MTA on M$W, but, I also feel there are a lot of network operators that demonstrate little self respect by running M$W MTAs. 2. I do understand that there are a variety of reasons someone may feel that they _HAVE_ to run am M$W MUA, and, for those people, I feel sympathy and encourage them to join the resistance. 3. Vacation messages you see would also be from people on nanog-post, since, if you aren't on nanog-post, your vacation message will get dropped and not be posted to the list.

No self-respecting network operator runs any M$W boxen as an MTA, so Templin is an imposter/troll.This isnt true, the majority run Windows (at least that's what I see in various meetings and from the user-agent headers)I'm not arguing with your conclusion, but your reasoning is a little broken. Only a small proportion of the nanog list membership attend meetings, and those that do don't necessarily provide a representative distribution (of any kind). Similarly, the user-agent headers you see are from people on nanog-post; I am told the nanog list is much bigger. Joe -- If it wasn't crypto-signed, it probably didn't come from me. Attachment:
