of course, but my point is: let's get rid of wildcards. I've heard opinions
that they have legitimate use, but can't find _any_ use that could be calles
legitimate, and would be worth of receiving spam, flooding the network with
crap and easting DNS servers' and http proxies' resources...

that is a political solution, not a technical, nobody can now say I agree
with spam if I'll sue them.
