Submission + - DynDNS drops NDR's from their MailHop service

jetkins writes: In an email to subscribers, DynDNS announced that they "will no longer deliver locally-generated NDRs from any MailHop systems." Mailhop is a multi-faceted service offering in- and outbound relay services, spam and virus filtering, and store-and-forward buffering.

DynDNS makes it clear that they are aware that this goes against RFC 2821 Section 3.7, but explains that in their opinion the increase in spam volume, and the use of NDR's as a spam vector in their own right, means that the value of NDR's is now far outweighed by their potential for harm.

Is DynDNS merely the first one to blink? Will this start a flood (mutiny) of ISP's following suit? Should they have made efforts to have the standard changed instead of just saying "fsck the police"?

Feed Science Daily: Saturn's Skewed Ring Current (sciencedaily.com)

Images taken by Cassini's Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument (MIMI) show that Saturn's ring current is a warped disc that balloons out of the equatorial plane on the planet's dayside and remains a thin disk that rises above the plane at larger distances on the nightside.

Feed Science Daily: Astronomers Baffled By Basalt In The Outer Asteroid Belt (sciencedaily.com)

Analysis of the chemical make up of two asteroids in the outer asteroid belt has thrown the classification system for these small bodies, which orbit between Mars and Jupiter, into disorder. The presence of basalt means that the asteroid must have melted partially at some time in the past, which implies that it was once part of a larger body which had internal heating processes. However, there do not appear to be other basaltic fragments in the region and, from spectral analysis, it is not clear whether the two are fragments of the same parent body or not.
