The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Argh -- if this is the feature rejecting mail with no MX for 
the hostnames in HELO/EHLO lines?  (I read the smail list only 
sporadically.) If so, this feature should be _disabled_ by default,
since otherwise we would produce too much grief.  If somebody
feels faked with bad EHLO/HELO lines he can enable it, knowing what
he's doing.

same here.
 
: so smail is the choice :-)

no doubt about it :-) 
BUT PLEASE DON'T START THE RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION AGAIN!
