I should certainly expect that for a relay, in which I address a message |
| 24 |
to a name not only the MX, but does a mailing list count as a relay? |
| 25 |
Certainly this is the only mailing list I've encountered to-date with |
| 26 |
such a restriction, and I participate in several. And while I totally |
| 27 |
get this for dial-up, my DSL has a static IP - I've had this number |
| 28 |
longer than many companies in this post-dot-bomb world. |

Indeed I can use my ISP as a smarthost, and in fact am currently doing |
| 31 |
so out of necessity. It just bothers me. Privacy is not enhanced by |
| 32 |
having my mail sitting on servers neither I nor the recipient control, |
| 33 |
and while I don't want any particular privacy for messages to this list, |
| 34 |
sending all my mail through the smarthost seems wrong. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Per-destination smarthost? Blech. :) |

I apologise if I sound grumpy about this issue, and do thank you for the |
| 39 |
response. |
