What's the problem with rejecting the SMTP session, with the error displaying the SMTP error code along with your phone number/error message in it?

qmail is usually the problem, not supporting recipient verification during smtp out of the box due to its security model of minimum privileges for each subsystem.

Lower Air Pollution Means Longer Life 272

Posted by timothy on Sunday March 22, 2009 @11:31PM from the but-it's-a-dry-pollution dept.

thefickler writes "A new study by the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has found a strong link between air quality and life expectancy. The researchers looked at air pollution, deaths and census data for 51 metropolitan areas between 1978 and 2001, and what they found was a direct correlation between improving air quality and extending life expectancy. People lived about 2.72 years longer over that time span and at least 15 percent of that increased life expectancy was from a decrease in air pollution."
