I think I've heard of people doing nolisting before and ran across the
term within the last week.
I wonder how effective it is.
I recently wrote a gray mail server (in Perl) that ran into the problem
of the 3rd bullet point in Drawbacks. - My workaround has been to
return ICMP errors, much like nolisting probably does.
I will have to give Nolisting more thought and mess with it.
