List administration

[Dean Anderson <dean@av8.com>]

I was following this message from Nanog, in which Randy Bush is 
complaining about Verizon spam filtering.   What is alarming, is the 
change that Mr. Bush put into the PSG mail system, which also handles 
namedroppers email.

I think that if PSG does not have the resources to handle the mail for 
namedroppers without capriciously deleted mail, then it should be handed 
to someone else who does have the resources.

I would like to volunteer Av8 Internet as a more suitable and resourceful 
host for the namedroppers site.

I need not remind anyone of the past administration problems with Dan
Bernstein and others which have resulted in censure and administrative
changes to the administration of Namedroppers by PSG and Mr. Bush. These
problems have been repeated, and it seems that we are at the start of yet
another administration "problem".  It seems to me that no matter what we
do, we will never rid ourselves of a constant stream of administrative
problems if we keep the hosting the list at PSG.

By contrast, Av8 Internet has no political axe to grind over whose email
to send and whose to interfere with.  Av8 does not interfere with anyone's
email, nor will it ever capriciously delete anyone's email, nor will it
ever abuse its administrative privileges for personal harrassment.

nice words, but crap.  due to needs to spool mail for sites in
countries with very poor connectivity, mail spool time here is
quite long.  if verizon and others seem unable to decide in weeks,
why should i pay the penalty?

but, i guess the problem is easily solved with exim config.  i have
set it so that if it can not deliver to verizon in say one hour, it
dumps the mail.

    verizon.net        *           F,1h,5m

life is simple, except for verizon users i guess.
