Greetings,

I sent a message to you in mid-November concerning email and
spam and how it relates to the email services provided by BCnet
at 'jade.BC.net'.  From that message:

> 'jade.BC.net' Upgrades
> ----------------------
> This system has had upgrades done to combat some of the email abuse
> problems.  In particular it is running sendmail 8.8.8 and the
> following types of filters are installed:
>
>         - a HELO command is required when connecting
>         - the connecting host IP address and hostname are system
>           logged
>         - the connecting host IP address and hostname are provided
>           in the email headers
>         - the connecting host must provide a valid domain name
>         - connections are only allowed from sites that are
>           registered in the DNS with an inverse entry

We have also installed filters requiring that:
          - the sender address on an email message must be resolvable
            through the DNS
          - the email message recipient address must be resolvable
            through the DNS

From my earlier message:
> further filter will be implemented:

If BCnet is providing primary or secondary DNS services for your domain,

then your domain will be automatically registered to allow mail relaying

through 'jade.BC.net'.  I have received notification from only one site
listing additional domains.

This filter will be installed at 10:00 Friday, December 19th.  Please
provide a list of domains if you require MX services and we are not
carrying a primary or secondary DNS service for the domain.

Thanks and take care,
