There are a variety of problems with such. If you spend enough time |
17 |
administrating mail servers, dealing with spam, etc. Some of the |
18 |
comments show a lack of understanding or experience in this area. Its a |
19 |
foolish approach. A waste of anyone's time to implement. I do not think |
20 |
infra has loads of staff to be dealing with such... |

Maybe try using sugar, friendliness, getting to know people and things |
23 |
along those lines. Or just letting things be as is, and let nature |
24 |
take its course. Things die off on their own, ebbs and flows. |
