Sorry, but that's nonsense. "accurate" and "important" are terms of
your phantasy, but not of network security and not of RMX.

A relationship to some other domains? 

That's bullshit. You're confusing everything. Are you stoned?

The sending MTA has authorized the From field? 

Do you have any clue at all what you are talking about?

That's pure nonsense. Do you intentionally refuse to understand 
even the simplest things? 

aol.com will not list that MTA in the aol.com RMX entry. The spammer
does not have any chance to list. MTAs do not "list".

You're talking crap. It's the domain owner who authorizes the MTA (or not).




Several people asked you several times to read the draft. You refuse
to inform yourself what RMX is, but you insist on flooding that
mailing list with nonsense and objections without substance.  What is 
your intention?
