Re: [anti-abuse-wg] Fwd: Re: RBL policy
as for smtp being alive.. out of 4 billion ips some 200k run an smtp server... still a lot more than ftp (including badly configured printers and security cameras).. but considering it's a protocol that was supposed to run on each and every workstation. it's dead. facebook has more users per second than smtp has mails per year. lol.

Okay, got it, thank you for that
howeverrrrr... then there is spamhaus...
yeah, but it will show good manners if you make a new thread about that?
as for the ripe mailinglist being smtp... yes. it unfortunately still is.. and it's about the ONLY thing that still needs smtp, next to signing up to habbo hotel. lol. i haven't started the mail client for anything else in years. lol. face it: smtp is dead, the reason it is dead: is spamhaus itself. making it unreliable. mainly.
we will have to agree to disagree (or not agree - with the same result :) )
smtp - 2017 my pov (and own stats) There has never been so much legit traffic sent ever...
Easy to check though as everyone on here has their own stats and to quickly analize 25 vs say 80 (wow - and 443 is just as crazy in terms of growth as 25!) in 2015 as compared to 2016 - smtp is alive and kicking (so is 443!)

https://zephoria.com/top-15-valuable-facebook-statistics/ statistics, facts (after they happened) are so crazy, lol In 2015, the number of emails sent and received per day total over 205 billion... in 2016 email/smtp = +8% lol and 2017 - looks to be even more hectic. - smtp maybe closer to 300 billion (per day) or 109 Trillion emails per year...lol by 2020 we may be at 1000 trillion emails... how many users does facebook have per day. lol
