Why would a mail server not reject a bad address?

HexGadgets FAQ
Some mail (SMTP) servers do not reject addresses of unknown users for a variety of reasons, including: They're simply accepting mail to pass on to another server and thus have no idea what users are valid on the destination server. (This is often the case for secondary servers for a domain.) The server has been configured to forward all unknown user email to an administrator. Hexillion's mail server is set up this way.

Why is having an Open Relay Mail Server bad?

Blue One Communications, Inc.
Spammers are the ones who most use other servers to send mail, but Open Relay Mail Servers can also be used to spread computer viruses. Spammers do not own the servers they send most of their mail through, nor do they contribute any money or labor to the upkeep of the servers. This amounts to theft and is sometimes called "high-jacking" the server.

Is there a security problem with your mail server?

Frequently Asked Questions
The security problem extends, unfortunately, to the e-mail protocol itself. Mail administrators are required to return, as undeliverable, any messages addressed to an invalid address on a particular network (such as SBCIS). This opens up the possibility for abuse by spammers running software that attempts to send messages to as many different addresses as possible. (See above.)

Are points a good thing or a bad thing?

Illinois Mortgage Rates - Help and FAQ (frequently asked que...
Neither. Points are just one more option to consider when getting a loan. Most people choose not to pay any points, but that in itself doesn't make points bad. For some borrowers, paying points is a great way to lower their monthly mortgage payments. For other borrowers, that money might be better used elsewhere. It really depends on your situation, how long you plan to be in the property, how much available cash you have, how much you expect interest rates to change in the future, etc.

Why is betting for your team such a bad thing?

Frequently Asked Questions
The possibility exists that decisions won't be made in the team's best interests, but rather because of the money riding on the game. If a manager bets on a game, he may bring a player off injured reserves sooner than he should in order to win, or he may pitch a reliever without enough rest, not caring that he won't be able to pitch for several extra days. If a betting manager gets in large debt to bookies, he can clear his account by merely revealing inside information about the team.
