Oh, the irony. I'm gagging over here on it.

We also need "list-protection" advice from your like about as
much as we need a hole in the head.

Once more djb proves himself to be the greatest obstacle to
qmail's acceptance. Do you ever post to mailing lists without
the intention of self-promotion, and without the actual effect
of shooting your credibility in the foot each time?
If the only way you can think of to announce your private
little take-off of list-abuse (grow some originality, maybe?)
is to attack list-managers by forging Brent's address, I
really, really question your involvement in any mailing
list designed to increase protection and security on lists.
Let me guess -- you'll promote "greater security" by
telling folks how to hack any list not running qmail?
You disgust me, sir.
