Please *login* to master.debian.org and *read* /etc/exim4/dnslists. Five role accounts and another one which is not a role account are already using a "single" DNSBL, namely sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. I think we, common developers, should also have the freedom to use sbl-xbl or not. If I chose to do so, it would be for *my* email, not for *yours*, so please don't try to tell me what it's ok or what it's not. Receiving more than 100 spams a day certainly is not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
