    You really should go back and read public comments on SiteFinder. "Broke some spam filters"??? It brought servers to their knees, not to mention the misdirected mail or bounced and lost mail into a black hole. More and more mail servers are rejecting mail based on invalid hostname verification because they have to find some way to stop spam and it helps. When I check mail logs and see hundreds of rejects (on a personal mail server) based on that criteria I know it's working. With SiteFinder, every single one of those would have flooded my inbox. Translate that to an ISP with thousands of accounts and thats a boatload of spam.

    And that's just one technical reason. Using secondary exchangers to spool or redirect mail when a server is down is effected by SiteFinder as well. That means lost email.

    Like I said, go back and read the comments. If those comments are at all representative of the community (corporate and ISPs) then it is huge. The SSAC report said they were not supposed to provide a technical response. They did as they were supposed to do in recommending SiteFinder be abandoned.
