Re: Request to Move RFC 954 to Historic Status

Hi Hugo,

    I think it would be a mistake to move 954 to historical status without 
replacing it with a more complete RFC. If someone would like to take that 
project on, I would be willing to participate (that's why I joined this list).

    I would be interested to know what large organizations are using the 
rfc-ignorant BL to block email. None of the admins that I know use it for 
blocking email and AFAIK it was never really intended for that use.
