The times, they are a-changing... We are facing a new world and old
habits are not the best ways to do things anymore. I'm certainly not one
of those deeming all DSN's as evil, but it really hurts our users when
some spammer starts a campaing forging sender addresses to look like
ours. All the backscatter that is not absolutely necessary is evil. I
