[ExI] Mail server announcement

[John Klos]

Hello, all,

I just wanted to let people here know that we're going to be updating 
our email servers' configurations to reduce the amount of spam we accept.

Spam servers often report themselves as "google.com" or "outlook.com", 
while real Google and Outlook servers are more specific. We're going to 
turn back on the feature which rejects email from servers that use an 
incorrect name instead of a name which points back to the connecting 
server.

We had used this feature in the past but because certain email services 
are set up haphazardly, this was a problem and was turned off. This still 
could be a problem, but other servers using this feature have been 
relatively problem-free.

If for any reason your email to the Extropy mailing lists is rejected or 
otherwise fails to appear in a timely fashion, please let us know. Since 
the same email server which hosts the Extropy mailing lists also hosts my 
primary email account (the one from which this message is sent), you 
wouldn't be able to reach me if this feature is the cause. In that case, 
you can email me at jklos {at} netbsd.org.

Thanks very much,
John Klos

I don't know which scares me more - that people adhere to the idea of an
omnipotent being powerful enough to create the universe, but whose
supposedly most cherished creation is a race modeled after himself which
can't stop hurting and killing each other, or the idea that those same
people cannot or will not consider the possibility that the universe is
random and unfeeling, and it's up to us to create order and beauty out of
chaos and entropy.
