Unfortunately, stupid IS departments can blame anybody else and make
it stick, too.  If the U Legal (worse, U Purchasing) autoresponder
gets mailbombed from my Mailman server, guess who gets shut down?  If
they can take away all ICMP, they sure can take away tcp/25.  :-(

I'm definitely in favor of some preventive paranoia.  Not too much
(probably this thread is enough for now), but I'm glad you brought it
up.
